GUWAHATI: The Gauhati High Court has given four weeks’ time to the state and central governments, as sought by them, to respond to the PIL (18/2023) on the protection of Deepor Beel. The court gave the time with the rider that the respondents will have to submit the latest status report of the projects undertaken pursuant to the earlier directions given by this Court as well as the National Green Tribunal (NGT) by the next hearing on April 27, 2023.

The PIL was filed by Pramod Kalita and two others.
