08/01/14 |
Tamil Nadu asks Supreme Court to scrap Sethusamudram project– Tamil Nadu government has reiterated that the Supreme Court should direct the centre to scrap the sethusamudram project as the Gulf of Mannar and surrounding areas are extremely eco-fragile and economically nonviable. The state also said that Ram Setu or Adam’s Bridge fulfills the natural and cultural criteria fixed by UNESCO, and implementation of the project would be a potential threat to this world renowned and unique structure. The Centre had earlier rejected the recommendations of the Pachauri Committee on the alternate plan. Pachauri Committee had concluded that the plan was nonviable. |
| 11/05/14 | R. K. Pachauri, a leading environmentalist, said that Center’s rejection of the Pachauri Committee report on the Sethusamudram project was mired in political expediency.Mr. Pachauri is Director-General of the Energy and Research Institute of India and chairperson of the UN Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).He said that the purely technical, ecological and economic issue has been badly overwhelmed by crass political considerations. The project managers are not taking into account the impact of climate change and sea-level rise. |
