The Supreme Court on Monday directed the government to set up within three months a national environment regulator with the power to appraise and clear projects.
The regulator would be created under Section 3(3) of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, for appraising projects, enforcing environmental conditions and to impose penalties on polluters, the court said.
