Eco-sensitive zone committee bars new construction within 1 km of Gorumara and Chapramari

At its first meeting, the Eco-Sensitive Zone Monitoring Committee in Jalpaiguri decided that no new construction would be allowed within 1 km of Gorumara National Park and Chapramari Wildlife Sanctuary and that existing units could not expand, the Millennium Post reported. Construction elsewhere in the Gorumara eco-sensitive zone needs the committee's prior approval. The paper said the Murti area now holds many private and government resorts, several within 1 km of the forest, and that resorts have multiplied around Lataguri.
