NEW DELHI: Deeply concerned about the recent tragedy in Uttarakhand, the Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered fresh environment impact assessment of 24 hydro-electric projects on Alaknanda and Bhagirathi rivers and scrutiny of the disaster management plan.
A bench of Justices K S Radhakrishnan and Dipak Misra ordered the ministry of environment and forests to constitute a multi-member expert body to examine whether these 24 under-construction projects and other existing projects "contributed to the tragedy that occurred in Uttarakhand in June".Times of India .
