KARACHI: An environmental tribunal on Tuesday set aside a notice issued by the Sindh Environmental Protection Agency (Sepa) for public hearing on the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of a multistorey luxurious commercial-cum-residential project proposed to be built on the seafront by a private builder.
The three-member tribunal headed by its chairman retired Justice Nisar Muhammad Sheikh also directed the Sepa director general to issue a notice inviting the general public for hearing on the EIA of the proposed project.
While allowing the appeal, the tribunal’s chief ordered that the public hearing should be held within 15 days after publication of the notice in newspapers as provided under the law.
