The Hindu
CAG report had also highlighted the disastrous impact of unchecked illegal constructions
The Kerala State Pollution Control Board will review the action taken on the 2016 draft report of the Comptroller and Auditor General’s Kerala office that had flagged serious violations of environmental laws in apartments, commercial complexes and industrial units.
The move comes in the wake of a report in The Hindu BusinessLine on Saturday that the government had not yet acted on the report, which had highlighted the disastrous impact of unchecked illegal constructions and violations of environmental laws in the State.
The CAG report was titled ‘Implementation of Environmental Laws by Kerala State Pollution Control Board, Kerala Coastal Zone Management Authority, Sate Environment Impact Assessment Authority with respect to Apartments, Commercial Complexes, Hospitals, Hotels and Industrial units’.
