The court's concern stems from rampant mining activities, particularly the lack of a clear definition for "semi-mechanized mining" and the absence of defined policy limits for environmental clearances, leading to the use of heavy machinery. This has resulted in significant environmental damage, including land subsidence threatening communities and damaging cultural heritage sites like the Kalika Temple and traditional Kumaoni houses. The report highlights the vulnerability of the region, particularly due to unstable slopes and monsoon seasons, emphasizing the detrimental effects on both the environment and the cultural landscape of Bageshwar.
