A Supreme Court (SC) bench headed by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud asked the Union government December 1, 2022, if a ‘Project Bustard’ could be launched on the lines of ‘Project Tiger’.
The bench was hearing petitions throwing light on the critical situation of Great Indian Bustards (GIB) and their deaths due to electrocution from high-transmission power lines in Rajasthan and Gujarat.
Project Tiger, launched by India’s environment ministry in 1973, is touted as a huge success.
