Tras reunirse con representantes da Comunidade Jain, o ministro asegurou que o Goberno se compromete a manter a santidade do Sammed Shikhar ji Parvat Kshetra como un lugar relixioso sagrado xainista.
A Zona Eco Sensible (ESZ) foi notificada polo Goberno da India en consulta co Goberno do Estado de Jharkhand en 2019 segundo as disposicións da Lei de Protección Ambiental de 1986.
A notificación da ESZ non pretende promover o turismo incontrolado e, definitivamente, non promover todo tipo de actividades de desenvolvemento dentro do límite dun Santuario. Pretende restrinxir ou regular as actividades que rodean o santuario fóra do seu límite.
Sammed Shikhar falls in the eco-sensitive zone of Parasnath Wildlife Sanctuary and Topchanchi Wildlife Sanctuary. The xestión Plan of the Parasnath Wildlife Sanctuary has ample provisions that prohibit the activities that have been said to be adversely affecting the sentiments of Jain Community.
Hai unha lista de actividades prohibidas que non poden realizarse dentro e arredor da zona eco-sensible designada. As restricións seguiranse en letra e espírito.
Consequent to the meeting, the state government is directed to strictly enforce the ban on the sale and consumption of liquor and non-vegetarian food items on Parasnath hill and implement provisions of management plan. Further, implementation of provisions of Clause 3 of the Eco Sensitive Zone (ESZ) notification is stayed including all Tourism and Eco-Tourism activities. A Monitoring Committee comprising of two members from the Jain comunidade and one member from the local Tribal comunidade as Permanent Invitees is to be constituted for involvement and oversight by important stakeholders.
