Construction of dams have turned Sutlej into rivulet: SC judge

Supreme Court judge Justice Sanjay Karol remarked that the construction of dams on the Sutlej River has drastically altered it, transforming the trans-Himalayan river into a mere rivulet and disrupting the entire ecosystem. He made these comments on Friday at the launch of a book titled "Climate Change: The Policy, Law and Practice" by lawyer Jatinder (Jay) Cheema. Justice Karol also emphasized the severe impacts of climate change on the country's agriculture sector.
