Adani power project to also affect Nagzira

As if the potential damage mines allocated to Adani Power to Tadoba wasnt catastrophic enough, state Wildlife officials now want to study the effect the power plant will have on another wildlife sanctuary east of Nagpur called Nagzira. What is interesting is that thepower plant is already under construction and one wonders what these 'concerned' officials were doing when approvals were being given and the project was being planned. Some one has suddenly woken up to the grave detrimental effects the power plant will have on surrounding forests which give shelter to tigers, panthers. leopards and other wildlife. It is unlikley that an under construction power plant will be asked to relocate now but what is important is now to ensure the damage it causes to the environment is minimal. The govt officials should carry out a detailed survey of affects of the project and ways to reduce any collateral damage.
