The Forest Department has decided to take legal recourse as the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has not deposited a fine of Rs 1.17 crore imposed on it in 2020-21 for allegedly illegally dumping debris along the Beas.
The debris was dumped during the construction of the 40-km highway between Ramshila (Kullu) and Manali and the 10-km highway between Jia (Bhuntar) and Ramshila, said the state Forest Department.
