Abstract

In a landmark judgement on June 9, the Calcutta High Court passed orders to stop illegal filling of marshlands at Dankuni in Howrah district of West Bengal. The verdict might come as good news to environmentalists but to us—witness to a long tussle to save the wetlands, which span almost 400 hectares and are home to endangered fauna—the verdict is not just a good news.
