The project, which involves diverting approximately 3,500 acres of forest land, has allegedly begun without necessary Stage-II forest clearance and Gram Sabha consultations. "The Modi government imposed this allotment from above in 2019 and is now rushing ahead with it in 2025 without the essential legal clearances. This is simply because Modani is a (f)law unto itself," Ramesh stated.
