He pointed out that like JCILP is focused on Inner Line Permit and CADA on drugs, a dedicated environmental civil body is necessary to protect the environment and wildlife.
Stating that preservation of the environment will not be successful without the cooperation of the public, N Munal appealed to the public to provide their assistance to the concerned department and others working to protect the environment.
