Chandigarh, March 3 Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Tuesday said he has asked Advocate General Atul Nanda to examine in detail the high court order with respect to constructions in the catchment of eco-sensitive Sukhna Lake here.
In an informal interaction with the media here, the Chief Minister said his government had received a copy of the judgment and the Advocate General would examine the order and make his recommendations.
The state government, said Amarinder Singh, would take whatever decisions, legislative or judicial, needed to resolve the issue.
"We stand by the people and will do everything to protect their interests," he said, in response to a question.
Recognising the Sukhna Lake as a legal entity, the Punjab and Haryana High Court on Monday ordered demolition of all unauthorised structures in the catchment area around it within three months, while imposing a fine of Rs 100 crore on both Punjab and Haryana.
