Ministry facilitating diversion of forest land - Ritwik Dutta


Environment Ministry proposes to exempt landholding agencies from seeking permission for linear infrastructure projects. Presently, a landholding agency has to take approval under the Act, for use of forest land, acquired for non-forest purposes. 

Ritwik Dutta of LIFE said, "Allowing one time exemption for private residence in private forests will lead to fragmentation of forest areas, besides deforestation. This will open the Aravalli mountains to private real estate development."
