CM wants impact assessment of forests
RANCHI: Chief minister Arjun Munda
on Thursday asked forest department officials to get impact assessment
done by a team of experts before allowing industries and mining in
forest areas. The State Wildlife Board had put up a total of 13 proposals before the chief minister for clearance on Thursday.
The CM heads the wildlife board. "The department should consult experts, calculate the long term impact, revenue prospects, and the impact on the ecology of all the projects before clearing them," said Munda. He also said, "Industries and mining are necessary for development. At the same time, we have to maintain the ecological balance."
Munda asked the department to also consult experts from Zoological Survey of India, Botanical Survey of India and Wildlife Institute of India.
