They will keep you convinced that the measure taken are always eco-friendly. But Himachal is heading towards a climate disaster, the deforestation is inevitable, and the ignorance of the Govt. and the public is making it worse. Tourism and civil aviation deputy director Ashwani Kumar said that a fresh proposal has been prepared to procure 95 bighas forest land at Rohtang, Marhi and Gulaba. We have to build eco-friendly but seasonal market at Marhi. The work would start soon. But before that, we need to procure land from forest department which may take some more time, he said. To decongest the Manali-Rohtang highway, where frequent traffic jams are observed due to tourist rush, it was proposed to procure 10 bighas forest land each at Rohtang and Marhi. The NGT, apparently concerned over the increasing pollution at Rohtang pass, has asked the state government decrease the traffic burden on Manali-Rohtang highway by enforcing various restrictions, sources said.
