April 18: Supreme Court has restricted any excavation in Godawari Area. The court, in a strong word, ordered all the stakeholders including the government not to excavate the area even if the area contains gold and diamonds. The order given by full bench of Chief Justice Sushila Karki, Justice Gobinda Kumar Upadhya and Justice Jagdish Sharma said “The priceless natural heritage like Godawari area needs to be conserved and preserved for future generation. Thus even if the area holds gold and diamond mine but not just marble, such area should not be allowed to excavate.” The order also specified that no permission should be granted in future for any excavation in the Godawari Area.

The full text of the order issued by the full bench has been prepared recently. In the full text, it was described that the religious and cultural heritage, bio diversity, birds, butterflies, flora and fauna that are near extinction and natural beauty of Godawari area is precious. On 2065 BS, a writ petition was filed against the government for its permission to excavate marble in Godawari area resulting extinction of natural resources.  

The court also ordered the government to conduct detail study on damages caused by marble excavation in the area. Moreover, the Supreme Court also ordered the government to form a committee to study and research methods to restore the area to its previous structure. According to the order, the committee should be formed in a way that it could advice legal and strategic suggestion on restoring the area within six months.
