The government has informed the High Court that the planned elevated road in Bhoma will not affect nearby temples or the lake.
The Gujarat government has filed a notice with the High Court stating that the proposed elevated road in Bhoma will not disturb the local temples or the adjacent lake. The project, part of the state’s infrastructure upgrade, has faced criticism from residents concerned about cultural heritage and environmental impact. Officials assured that all necessary environmental and archaeological assessments have been completed and that the road will be constructed with minimal disruption. The High Court is expected to review the submission and may schedule a hearing to address the community’s concerns. The government maintains that the elevated road will improve traffic flow while preserving the sanctity of the temples and the ecological balance of the lake.
