As reported, the mining activity in the vicinity is feared to adversely affect ecology of the area and prove hazardous for health of thousand of pilgrims visiting the shrine.
So no activity should be carried out which is going to harm the sacred shrine. Before carrying out the activity, the concerned should put in place measures which would ensure that no damage is done to ecology of the area.
Besides, inquiry should be instituted why environment clearance was granted fradulently as is reported in the news report.
