The Bench reminded,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\">\u201cIt appears to us that the aforestation programme by large was restricted to reclaiming, conserving and developing flora, however, though the flora is required to be conserved and developed simultaneously fauna is also required to be reclaimed and preserved by taking necessary steps so that ecological balance is maintained.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the backdrop of above, the Secretary, Forest and Environment, Principal Chief Conservator of Forest, Chief, Wild Life Warden, and Divisional Forest Officer of the Division concerned were directed to remain present through video conferencing on the next date of hearing.
