The belief that the HPC could protect this fragile ecology has been shattered. I can do no more, Ravi Chopra wrote

Environmentalist Ravi Chopra has resigned as chairman and member of the High Powered Committee (HPC) for the Char Dham Project, citing an assault on the Himalayas in an explosive letter.

Chopra was offered the chairmanship of the HPC in September 2019. He mentioned what compelled him to take it up in his letter:

In September 2019, when asked to accept the assignment to chair the HPC, I deliberated whether my age would permit me to fulfill the strenuous responsibilities the assignment entailed. I was compelled to accept by an inner voice born out of a 40-year commitment to help restore the degraded Himalayan environment and the livelihoods of its people.

He continued that “it is that same inner voice now compels me to move out. The belief that the HPC could protect this fragile ecology has been shattered. I can do no more. I therefore choose to resign.”

He wrote that sustainable development demanded approaches that were both geologically and ecologically sound.
