The Vellore Citizens Welfare Forum (VCWF) has urged the State Minister for Environment to change the nomenclature of the Environment Policy as `Protection of Environment, Ecology, Biodiversity, Eco-systems, Prevention of Pollution and Enforcement of Statutory and Judicial Orders of Apex and Other Courts in India Policy’.

In a letter addressed to the Environment Minister, the honorary secretary of VCWF P.S. Subrahmanian said that the VCWF opposed the term ‘Environment Policy’ since it was very limited in its meaning, scope and definition. Therefore, the name of the policy should be changed as above.
