Bugyals

The surface of these bugyals is covered with natural green grass and seasonal flowers.

During summer months, the Bugyals present a riot of beautiful flowers and grass.

[1] Bugyal is a fragile ecosystem and it is essential to maintain a balance between ecology and environment.

In this context a court case was filed by the public objecting to erection of the prefab houses and by introducing non-biodegradable matter in the upper meadows of the bugyals by the tourism departments.

The court had ordered that the polluter must pay for the damage to environment based on absolute liability principle, which covered payment of damages to the affected people but also to compensate for all costs for restoration of the degraded environments.
