Tata Power’s Hydro Task Encounters Delay Over Environmental Issues
MUMBAI– The Forest Advisory Board (FAC) has postponed Tata Power’s proposition to divert 160 78 hectares of forest land in Pune for an 1800 -MW Pumped Hydro Storage Space Task.
- The suggested site is within the eco-sensitive zone of the Western Ghats.
- The job requires dropping 64, 729 trees in a densely forested area.
- The FAC looks for ecological ministry comments on jobs in eco-sensitive locations.
- Worries exist pertaining to the job’s influence on local wild animals, consisting of leopards.
The state government asserts the task will certainly not displace any kind of human habitation, however the FAC is scrutinizing its environmental influence. A Tata Power agent declined to comment.
