Gautam informed the court that no interim development plan has been prepared by the town and country planning department to regulate constructions at Marhi and Rohtang Pass.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe glacier of this area feeds our river basins and any damage would be irreparable. It would adversely affect nature and national economy. Hence, some immediate measures are required to be taken,\u201d the bench said.<\/p>\n<p>It observed that unregulated construction activity could adversely affect nature and \u201cmight result in landslides and soil erosion\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Rohtang, meaning \u201cpiles of dead bodies\u201d in Persian, is located in the Pir Panjal range.<\/p>\n<p>It remains snowbound for over six months in winter, cutting off the tribal Lahaul and Spiti district and also the strategically vital Ladakh region of Jammu and Kashmir.<\/p>\n<p>Officials say over 2,000 vehicles go over the pass every day during peak tourist season \u2013 from June till November. A major component of the traffic is defence vehicles with the forces reaching supplies to strategic points through the pass.<\/p>\n<p>J.C. Kuniyal, senior scientist of the Kullu-based G.B. Pant Institute of Himalayan Environment and Development, said Rohtang Pass\u2019s eco-system is being damaged by the increasing tourist inflow and exhaust fumes of vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cExcessive emission of carbon monoxide from vehicles and huge quantities of trash left by tourists on the pass are taking a toll on the snow cover,\u201d said Kuniyal, who has carried various studies on the impact of pollution on the pass.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver the years, we have observed that the snow cover in the Rohtang Pass is melting at a faster rate than expected. Earlier, snow remained on the pass till June-end. Now, it almost melts by May-end. This means there is an overall increase in temperature,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>He said at several points the snow is turning black due to soot accumulation. Even the rocks along the highway have turned black or dark grey.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA large number of flora species are now on the verge of extinction,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Human interference disturbing the fragile ecology of a high Himalayan mountain pass overlooking this tourist resort has caught the attention of the Himachal Pradesh High Court.
