In August 2022, chief minister Bhagwant Mann had announced plans to establish a biodiversity park and eco-tourism zone in the area. However, the proposed carcass plant, which is classified as a red-category industry due to its high pollution potential, threatens to undo these efforts, say activists. (HT File)
