NGT Cancels Environmental Clearance for Viman Nagar Project Expansion Over EIA Deficiencies
The National Green Tribunal's Western Zonal Bench has set aside the environmental clearance granted for expanding a residential and commercial project in Pune's Viman Nagar due to deficiencies in the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report. The tribunal found the report failed to address the Terms of Reference point-wise and omitted key assessments. The project had earlier received clearance in 2019, but deviations in construction led to its categorization as a violation, prompting a fresh clearance process and penalty recommendations before the tribunal's decision.
