The State government will file its views to a notification of the Ministry of Environment and Forests that proposes to declare 37 per cent of the Western Ghats as Ecologically Sensitive Areas (ESA).
The notification seeks to ban mining, quarrying, thermal power plants and red-category industries in these zones after public consultations and discussions in the legislature.
