✦AI Summary
The Madras High Court is set to review a controversial NGT order that banned construction within a one-kilometer radius of the Pallikaranai marshland. The CMDA argues that the ban is impractical as the area is already densely populated and largely developed.
The Madras High Court on Wednesday (July 15, 2206) decided to take up for final hearing on August 3, 2026, a case questioning the National Green Tribunal’s (NGT) authority to impose a blanket ban on constructions within a radius of one kilometre from the boundaries of Pallikaranai marshland , a Ramsar site.
