Union Environment Minister informed that the Zonal Master Plan (ZMP) of Bhagirathi Eco-Sensitive Zone has been approved by the government.
About:
The Bhagirathi Eco-Sensitive Zone notification from Gaumukh to Uttarakashi covering an area of 4179 sq. kilometre was issued by the Ministry of Environment in 2012.
The notification mandated the State Government of Uttarakhand to prepare ZMP to be implemented under the supervision of the Monitoring Committee.
The ZMP is based on watershed approach and includes governance in the area of forest and wildlife, watershed management, energy, tourism, road infrastructure, etc.
The approval of ZMP will give a boost to conservation and ecology of the area and also to undertake developmental activities as permitted under ZMP. This will also pave way for faster execution of the CHAARDHAM ROAD PROJECT in Uttarakhand.
