NEW DELHI: The environment ministry's expert appraisal committee has recommended granting environment clearance to the government's ambitious Central Vista redevelopment project, but directed that its developer should ensure no air pollution is caused during the demolition of existing structures.
With the expert panel's recommendations, the project comes a step closer to getting the environment clearance (EC), to be given by the Union environment minister.
The expert appraisal committee (EAC) took the decision in a meeting held on December 17, the minutes of which were uploaded on the ministry's website on Monday.
