In News: The Supreme Court appointed Ravi Chopra Committee has alleged that the Chardham road project has violated court order.

About Ravi Chopra Committee

  • A petition was filed with the National Green Tribunal. The Petition said that the project violated the Environmental Impact Assessment Notification, 2006. 
  • On the other hand, according to MoRTH, the length of the highways are less than 100 km and hence do not require environmental clearance. 
  • The project has been segregated into 57 parts and each part is less than 100 km. Thus, NGT cleared the project.
  • However, the project stopped by the Supreme Court. The apex court also constituted Ravi Chopra Committee to assess the environmental violations if any. 
  • The top court ruled that a width of 5.5 metre be enforced as it was in conformity with a 2018 recommendation of the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) for mountain roads. 
  • The MoRTH is also the key coordinator of the Chardham project.
  • Ravi Chopra is the chairman of the High Powered Committee (HPC).

Chardham Pariyojana

  • The project aims to provide connectivity to the four Hindu pilgrimages such as Kedarnath, Badrinath, Gangotri and Yamunotri. The estimated cost of the project is Rs 12,000 crores. 
  • The National Highway and Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited, Uttarakhand State Public Works, Border Road Organization.
  • The project is being implemented under EPC mode. 
  • EPC mode is Engineering, Procurement and Construction Mode. 
  • Under this mode, the cost is completely borne by the Government.
