New Delhi: Pune’s Lavasa Lake City has run into rough weather with the environment ministry slapping a show-cause notice on Lavasa Corporation for carrying out construction activities without its approval in 25,000 hectares, reports PTI.

The ministry has given 15 days time to the Corporation asking why unauthorised structures erected by it without any environmental clearance between March 2003 to September 2006 in Mulshi and Velhe talukas in Pune should not be demolished in its entirety.

The constructions, it said, were in violation of the Environment Impact Assessment Notification, 2006.

The notice issued on Thursday has also asked the project proponent not to carry out any construction and development activities till its reply in the matter.

Besides, the Corporation has been asked to give the details of the project, clearances obtained, status of the project with photographs/satellite and Google maps indicating the constructions as on 18th March and 7 July 2004 and 14 June 2006.

It is evident that India will continue to suffer on one or other excuses. One wonders what are we talking about environmental rules. This Ministry should be abolished as it will destroy any development of India. Yes it will destroy India. When one looks what has happened to USA due to such kind of rules one wonders if we are now on same road.
What is environmental rules of India where the animals roam freely on raods and leave cow dung and mountains of flies or are we talking of millions of people have no toilets and thus utilise railway tracks and populate water.
What about burning of Gobbar and thus have smoke hovering all over Delhi etc.
Are we sure this power is not being used to show who is the CZAR
