Girnar ropeway work still not starting,another clearance pending
Junagadh, 29 July, 2011
Junagadh’s Girnar project was cleared by central Environment and Forest ministry in last February, but basic works of building the ropeway have yet not started because the company Usha Breco is now waiting for one more clearance – the last of all clearances – from the Central Empowered Committee(CEC) formed by the Supreme Court of India.
The company is expecting clearance for its proposal to build Girnar ropeway in three months time. This clearance is must for starting construction activity in sanctuary area. If someone goes to appeal against the ropeway project, the clearance process may delay.
It was in the background of the tremendous pressure on forests and the unsustainable removals and the real threat of massive destruction of wildlife habitat that the Supreme Court of India intervened and constituted Central Empowered Committee on May 9th, 2002. The CEC presently comprises of the following six members:
Mr. P. V. Jayakrishanan, Chairman
Mr. M.K. Jiwrajka, Member
Mr. Mahendra Vyas, Member
Mr. M.K. Muthoo, Member
Mr. S.K. Patnaik, Member
Mr. P.J. Dilip Kumar, DGF & SS, Member
