Ensure protection of Ramappa temple: HC
The Hindu
Court cautions State, Central governments
Telangana High Court said the State and Central governments should ensure that Ramappa temple, which was recently recognised as world heritage site, was a symbol of perfect balance of tourist place and protected ecosystem. Hearing a PIL on Ramappa temple site, a bench of Chief Justice and Justice B. Vijaysen Reddy noted that there was a possibility of sudden real estate boom in the vicinity of the temple in the backdrop of it securing the world heritage site tag. When a place becomes popular, naturally more people would be inclined to invest in properties in and around such place. Ramappa temple is likely to witness such a boom and there could be a spurt in construction activity. It was the responsibility of the government to ensure a proper balance of providing facilities to tourists and keeping the area clean of encroachments and illegal constructions, the bench noted.More Related News
