Supreme Court Slams Rajasthan Officials Over Discrepant River Data

TV9 Hindi · india

The Supreme Court has expressed strong displeasure with Rajasthan officials regarding contradictory data presented about the Jojri-Luni river. Justices questioned how officials determined an 8-meter river width while a bridge over it measured 1,782 meters, deeming the figures absurd. The court criticized the reliance on dry-season water flow to define river boundaries, stating it misinterprets previous orders. This discrepancy, potentially deliberate, has raised concerns about accountability, with possibilities of investigation and suspension for responsible officers.
