Hindustan Times
|December 06, 2024
The Union environment ministry has asked the governments of states and Union territories to immediately expedite the time taken to process forest clearances for various infrastructure and other projects that involve diversion of forest land.
It has also sought regular review by the principal secretary (forests) or the principal chief conservator of forests, to assess the time taken by various authorities in processing the proposals and directed that strict warnings be issued to officers not adhering to the timelines prescribed under the Van (Sanrakshan Evam Samvardhan) Rules, 2023.
In a letter dated November 22 addressed to the states and UTs, the ministry said it carried out a review of the time taken to process forest clearances. "It was observed that time lines prescribed in the Van (Sanrakshan Evam Samvardhan) Adhiniyam are not being adhered to by the processing authorities in the State/UTs," the letter added.
