Green min does U-turn on Korba plant [1]

Days After Govt’s Nod To Project, National Tribunal Quashes Clearance, Calls It Illegal

New Delhi: Within five days of imposing a moratorium on new industries in Chhattisgarh’s Korba district for being the fifth polluted industrial zone in the country, the environment ministry did a U-turn, having cleared a private 3x350 MW thermal power plant. The move overlooks not only the freeze the ministry had imposed, but also the venture is in violation of green norms.
