PSU PRESS RELEASE
Panel defers green clearance for NTPCs plant in MP
New Delhi: Culture and wildlife have trumped economics once again. The need to preserve the Khajuraho temple, famous for its erotic sculptures, as well as nearby tiger and crocodile sanctuaries has prompted a government panel to hold off on clearing a Rs.18,000 crore thermal power plant in Madhya Pradesh.
This is the second time the Union environment ministry’s expert panel has deferred giving green clearance to NTPC Ltd’s 2,660 megawatt (MW) super thermal power plant in Madhya Pradesh.
The power project near Barethi village (Chhatarpur) in Madhya Pradesh was referred to the environment ministry’s Expert Appraisal Committee (EAC) for thermal power and coal mining projects seeking environment clearance in 16-17 June meeting.
The project had been deferred last year as well because of environmental concerns.
