NGT Flags Rajasthan's 'Snowy' Tourist Spot as Health Hazard: Viral Reels, Pre-Wedding Shoots Under Scrutiny
•Kishangarh, Ajmer district, has become a viral tourist spot due to vast white terrain resembling snow, attracting visitors for pre-wedding shoots and reels.
•The 'snow-like' landscape is actually marble slurry waste, a byproduct of the region's large marble-processing industry.
•The National Green Tribunal (NGT) took suo motu cognisance, flagging the site as a health hazard due to potential respiratory ailments, lung diseases, and groundwater contamination from airborne dust.
•Social media glamorizes the industrial waste site, leading to public exposure without informed consent, as there are no warning signs or access controls.
•NGT did not order a shutdown but directed authorities to implement stricter dust control, better slurry water management, and finalize national guidelines for marble slurry.
Why It Matters: Kishangarh's viral 'snowy' tourist spot, made of marble slurry, poses significant health risks, prompting NGT intervention.
