Shimla: A private
professional university setting up its campus in Himachal Pradesh
has been accused of violating environmental laws and now faces
action, an official said here Thursday.
The Rayat Bahra University campus was Thursday searched by green
authorities following reports of violation of environmental norms, Himachal Pradesh Pollution Control Board member secretary Sanjay
Sood told IANS.
The Punjab-based university is setting up its campus in Waknaghat
in Solan district.
Sood said the university authorities were restrained from
constructing the retaining wall. He said despite a notice being
issued to the university, it was carrying out the construction
activity.
"We will look into all other (environmental) violations done by
the university on its campus. It was not complying with our
notices and appropriate action would be initiated against it,"
board chairman Kuldeep Singh Pathania said.
He said other private universities in the state would also be
checked for violations of green norms.
Rayat Bahra University is also accused of flattening the hill
during the phase-II construction of the campus, located on the
Chandigarh-Shimla highway.
"The university authorities have flattened the hill by 10 metres
against the permissible limit of 3.5 metres," then chief minister,
Prem Kumar Dhumal had said in a written reply to the state
assembly last year.
