"Later, activist Bharthwal told TOI: “It is very disturbing that organisation like the CPCB --the apex body-- has made no effort to find out the noise and air pollution level at the construction sites.

Dehradun: Beyond Haridwar, the work to take the 900-km charcoal road deep into the Himalayas till the four holiest shrines is going on at a hysterical pace. The state agency, too, denied it is undertaking any such monitoring.The project will involve felling of thousands of trees and intensive blasting of the Garhwal Himalayas. Such huge construction should be avoided,” said Pathak.
