“It was a day exactly like today’s… The sun was bright, though not too hot,” says Narinder Singh Rathore, talking about May 25, 2025. His two granddaughters sat in the verandah of their pucca house as his wife put out to dry freshly washed linen from the small homestay they ran. “Suddenly, crate walls laid by the NHAI in a bid to protect the slope just above our apple orchard started falling. In a few seconds, a cloud of dust had engulfed the entire valley… People far away could see it,” says Rathore.

He sought compensation under provisions of the Environment (Protection) Act, alleging large-scale environmental degradation and damage to his agricultural and orchard land.

Supreme Court agrees to examine plea on SHANTI Act

The Supreme Court on Tuesday said the decision to cap the liability of private players in the event of a nuclear tragedy is a matter of “fiscal policy” that courts cannot second-guess, even as it agreed to examine in July a challenge to the Sustainable Harnessing and Advancement of Nuclear Energy for Transforming India (SHANTI) Act, 2025.
