In the wake of allegations against the Brahmani River Pallets ltd (BRPl)'s violations of law of the land, the MNC has now filed a petition at the Odisha High Court against Union Environment and Forest Ministry, State Revenue and Forest Departments along with the Keonjhar District Magistrate for obstructing its infrastructure installation in Keonjhar and, thus, compelling it to incur huge loss.
The company has complained before the High Court Bench headed by Chief Justice C Nagappan that forest-dwellers snapped the slurry pipeline along the Naibuga reserved forest recently rendering the company work to a state of standstill.
Brahmani River Pallets ltd (BRPl) regional head ND Rao has prayed the High Court through his pleader and Supreme Court advocate N Nageswar Rao to order the Government for not obstructing its pipeline laying work for ore transportation.
The High Court has fixed April 30 as the next date for hearing of the case. However, the observations of the National Green Tribunal and the tribunal's interim stay order on the company have not been mentioned in the petition to the High Court.
