In Feb 2021 flood, 192 people died at dam sites near Joshimath; locals approached Uttarakhand HC. CJ Raghvendra Chauhan & Justice Alok Verma gave a judgment calling petitioners “puppets” & imposing Rs 50,000 fine. My old report in @thewire_in.

Petition was dismissed in the 1st hearing itself. Judges said that the petitioners “claim” to be social activists without any proof of identity.
Well, 2 petitioners (including @atulsati1) were from Joshimath Bachao Sangharsh Samiti which is leading current protests in Joshimath.
