Environment ministry to revamp clearances
The Union ministry of environment and forests (MoEF) has put in place a plan to mitigate potential corruption in awarding forest and environmental licences, to hasten the entire process.
The plan aims opening of regional offices, creation of a decision-support database and formulation of a policy to monitor compliance. It also aims at elimination of discretion in the processing of forest clearance proposals and post-project monitoring of forestry clearance conditions.
