The Supreme Court has expressed concern over the incomplete ground verification and demarcation of water bodies even nine years after the rules were published. It directed all states and union territories to inspect wetlands on-site and define their boundaries. The court emphasized that water sources are vital for the right to life and cannot be ignored. It ordered affidavits within four weeks, allowing four months to complete the process.
