New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Wednesday wanted the central government to be included as party in the petition filed by the Kerala government against the nigh traffic ban via the Bandipur national park on the Kerala - Karnataka border.
The SC also wanted the Road Transportation Ministry and Forest Environment ministries to furnish their opinion on the night traffic ban, said the bench comprising justice P Sadasivam and B S Chauhan.
The court also observed that the ban is affecting the movement of essential goods to Kerala the most. Even though Kerala has plenty of waterways all essential commodities are brought from Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.
When the case was considered earlier, the court had asked suggestions from both states. When Kerala proposed for a overhead road and transportation on convoy basis, Karnataka was against all these suggestions.
The court also asked for any other alternate suggestions. When Karnataka informed that all such suggestions were not practical, Kerala asked the SC to include the centre a party in the case. The cost for constructing a overhead road would be Rs 1400 crore.
Kerala also wanted an expert committee to analyse the problem. Karnataka was against all suggestions saying that if vehicles from Kerala were allowed to travel, then the state would be forced to allow vehicles from Karnataka as well.
