Earlier in the day, Kedarnath MLA Manoj Rawat and Purola MLA Raj Kumar staged a dharna at the Vidhan Sabha on the second day of the monsoon session to protest the government "inaction" on the ban, which severely affected the tourism industry.Reacting to this, state Forest Minister Harak Singh Rawat said the government had sufficient ground to move the apex court against the high court's 2018 order for safeguarding interests of the tourism sector and also the local youths involved in the adventure tourism.Stating that the Wildlife Protection Act 1972 has created a big divide between the people and the Forest Department, he said the government was sincere about removing hurdles in the way of local businesses.He also assured the two MLAs that the Forest Department had issued instructions that people wanting to stay at meadows by setting up temporary camps should not be removed.Admitting delay in the matter, the Forest Minister said, "We admit our mistake. But we have collected all information from all departments to prepare ground for moving the Supreme Court on the issue."Kedarnath MLA had said the Forest Department removed all tents set up in the Chopta area for night stay in the meadows."Be it any meadow, the adventure tourism business has been badly affected due to the court orders. The state government had said it would challenge the court's order in the Supreme Court, but has not taken any step in this direction," he said.( With inputs from IANS )
