A Supreme Court Bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta on Monday (24 August 2026) banned any construction or development within 100 metres of the Jojari river in Rajasthan, hearing a suo motu case on contamination in the river. The Bench also prohibited hazardous industries within 500 metres of the river's flow path, pending scientific determination of the high flood line and ecological buffer zones. The order follows earlier directions in the case, including one on 7 August asking the Rajasthan government to set up an Integrated Coordination Group to address pollution in the Jojari, Bandi and Luni rivers. The matter is listed for further hearing on 22 September 2026.
