The Manohar Lal Khattar government in Haryana was rapped on the knuckles by the Supreme Court days after it amended the 119-year-old Punjab Land Preservation Act (PLPA) in the state Assembly. "Do you think you are supreme? It (amending PLPA) is sheer contempt of court," the Supreme Court told Haryana government today. The state government, amending the PLPA, which protects the green cover of the Aravalli, means throwing open around 60,000 acres of forests in Gurgaon, Faridabad, Nuh, Mehendargarh and Rewari, for construction purposes.
