From he 1990s onwards, there has been a new trend in protection
of urban wetlands. A greater number of concerned citizens are
approaching the courts to stop the mindless destruction of urban
wetlands. A large number of public interest
petitions (PILs) are being filed by local
people and groups across the country to save lakes and other
waterbodies in cities. The petitioners range from high profile
lawyers, academecians, to concerned individuals. The Centre
for Science and Environment (CSE) has focused on nine such cases,
studying the proceedings; examining the impact and the stumbling
blocks faced by the litigants.
- Dal lake: Fazal Ali and Syed Mutaba Hussain
- Chandola lake: Shailesh Shah
- Rabindra Sarobar: Subash Dutta
- Bhimtal: Frederick Smaetecek
- Delhi's waterbodies: Vinod Kumar jain
- Udaipur lakes: Tej Razdan
- Saroornagar: KL Vyas
