Shimla, May 21

The High Court on Monday directed the state authorities to file a status report within four weeks, indicating the steps taken by it on the project report, prepared by the Rotary Club of Shimla, for the development of Kufri.

The court had directed the Advocate General to convene a meeting of all stakeholders for taking appropriate action on the project report.

A Division Bench comprising acting Chief Justice Sanjay Karol and Justice Ajay Mohan Goel passed this order on a petition taken up suo motu by the court as PIL petition on the issue of deteriorating condition of Kufri. The court had asked the Rotary Club to prepare a project report for the proper development of this area.

The court passed this order on a letter wherein it was alleged that condition of Kufri had been deteriorating day by day. There are a number of horses for tourists. Roads, paths and public places were littered with dung. The petitioner had prayed that necessary directions might be issued to the district and police administration to maintain cleanliness.
