SC notice to Centre on plea alleging 'vague' definition of wetland

The Supreme Court has asked the Centre to explain the definition of wetlands. Petitioners argue the current definition is vague and excludes many important sites. This could remove protection from ecologically sensitive areas. The court is reviewing the constitutional validity of the definition. A response is expected by August 10. This case could impact wetland conservation efforts across India.
