Vedanta University Project gets Conditional CRZ (Coastal Regulation Zone) clearance: Sambada
March 6th, 2009
Following is an excerpt from a report in expressbuzz.com.
State Coastal Zone Management Authority has cleared the application of Vedanta University project in its meeting held under the chairmanship of UN Behera, Secretary of State Forest and Environment Department.
… It was resolved to accord CRZ clearance while the authority imposed a number of terms and conditions before recommending it to the Centre for granting permission to take up the construction work.
The conditions include not to encroach and obstruct the natural course of the river Nuanai which is flowing through the project area. The authorities have also asked Anil Agarwal Foundation, the promoter of the project, not to undertake any construction activities in the prohibited CRZ area, discharge waste water to the nearby water bodies and it should abide by the proper solid waste management and disposal norms.
The Foundation had applied to the Ministry of Environment and Forests for necessary permission to start the work. Since the project site includes CRZ areas the Union Ministry had sent the application to the State Coastal Zone Management Authority for examination of the application.

vedanta University ??? we have been listening this for the last 6 years. And each new year we get delayed further.some say it is a gimmick of big people.some say a white-wash.Now we are much behind the time frame as given originally.
whim- wash is fine but hope -wash is not…hope-wash is a crime.it gives living death.Big powers should not play with the dreams of ordinary people.
Hope we should not talk tom- tom about any project …rather do it.
Good Luck.
