Progress Update
Here is an update on this matter.
On 23rd Feb 2010, Ministry of Environment & Forests (MoEF), Central Government, told CEC during the hearing, that the permission granted to the Angling camp within Cauvery Wildlife Sanctuary was illegal and also was against the orders of the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India.
Post that, The CEC has written to the Chief WildLife Warden of Karnataka, advising him to review the permission granted to the Angling camp.
On 17th March 2010, the Karnataka Forest department argued in front of CEC that the permission granted by them was not illegal. To which, the CEC has asked Karnataka Forest Department to file a reply in response to the objections raised by MoEF before the 7th April 2010 (next hearing).
I will update after 7th April 2010.
