Chandrapur (Maharashtra), Jan 27 (PTI) The Ministry of Environment and Forests has denied permission to Adani Group for coal mining at Lohara near Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve (TATR), for setting up a 1980 MW power plant in Gondia district of Maharashtra.
Adani Power is setting up the project at Tiroda (Gondia) and had planned to source the coal from Lohara.
"Our Ministry issued a letter on January 7, to Adani Group stating that the permission (for coal mining) has been denied to them since it would destroy rich forests and tiger habitat," Union Minister Jairam Ramesh, told reporters after his visit to Lohara.
Ramesh who met several environmental activists here yesterday assured them that "there will be no review and no reconsideration" in this matter.
Good Morning Nawal...I really appreciate the research that you do behind these blogs. you collect information from various sources and provide it at one spot....but my concern(question) is, Are we as member of SAVE TIGER actually doing something to save this species or we just another group who just sit in front of their PC and jus discuss.

Hi Harsh,
ReplyDeleteThis is an effort to spread information and awareness about conservation issues amongst people who might or might not be aware or interested. A single blog or a group in itself might not be able to create a revolution but the combined voice of many such groups/blogs can help mould public opinion by raising awareness. Each one of us can of course go beyond just being cyber members and become active participants by involving ourselves with tiger & forest conservation NGOs, help them raise money, help them execute ground level projects etc.
Thanks
Nawal
