Built by Numaligarh Refinery Ltd. to enclose a golf course, the wall has already caused the deaths of two pachyderms.
On 29th September’ 2015, National Green Tribunal (NGT) directed the Numaligarh Refinery Ltd. to place on record complete documents to show as how many trees they have cut and how many trees have they planted as afforestation and what is the mortality rate of the trees planted. NGT also directed State of Assam to inspect and place on record the inspection report. Further, the Tribunal directed State Environment Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA) to take a final view in relation to the order passed by the DFO and place the same on record before the Tribunal. And yet no order has been given to demolish the boundary wall…in a land and country that reveres and worships the elephant-headed God (Ganesha).
