Centre Revokes Environmental Clearance for Godrej Eternia Project in Chandigarh
The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change revoked the environmental clearance for Godrej Properties' commercial project, Godrej Eternia, in Chandigarh's Industrial Area Phase I. The revocation, effective immediately, was due to the project's failure to obtain mandatory wildlife clearance from the National Board for Wildlife before construction, as the site lies within a 10-km radius of the Sukhna Wildlife Sanctuary. Godrej Properties argued for retrospective clearance, but the ministry upheld prior approval as a legal requirement, citing Supreme Court directives and ministry orders.
