No illegallity has been detected in granting permission for erecting windmills in the eco-sensitive zone of Rampara sanctuary in Gujarat's Morbi district, according to the joint committee report filed before the National Green Tribunal (NGT) on June 19, 2026.

Some residents of Wankaner in Morbi district had filed a petition stating that the numerous windmills erected within the Rampara eco-sensitive zone (ESZ) have been set up without due permission from concerned authorities.

The petitioners also stated that the windmills around the sanctuary and the subsequent power lines are disturbing wildlife, causing more and more wildlife to move toward Wankaner city and nearby rural areas....
