Explanation:

Recently, ecological concerns have been raised over the planned 4,000MW ultra mega solar plant in Rajasthan.

Whereas on the one hand, the state forest department is at an advanced stage of creating a development agency to protect and conserve the natural ecosystem of Sambhar lake which is a wetland of international importance, there are plans afoot to set up a 4,000MW ultra mega solar plant at the Ramsar site.

The Wetlands (Conservation and Management) Rules, 2016, do not permit ‘any construction of a permanent nature’.

Restrictions in wetlands also include setting up of any industry and expansion of existing industries.
