Acting on directives by the Bombay High Court, which was hearing a PIL filed by parents of a young trekker who had lost his life in the Himalayas due to a breathing problem, the state government has made it mandatory for all institutes and individuals engaged in organising adventure sports activities to be registered with it.

Non-compliance of the order, which was issued yesterday, will invite action under the Indian Penal Code, Bombay Police Act and Consumer Protection Act. Representation pic
