Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract
The proposed Dhamra minor port is located just north of the boundary of the Bhitarkanika National Park on the Orissa coast and about 10 km away from the Gahirmatha Marine Sanctuary. The proposed port, located in the immediate vicinity of this extremely important and fragile zone, was granted environmental clearance not by the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF), but by the Ministry of Surface Transport (MoST) of the Government of India. This bizarre situation has its origins in July 1997, when the MoEF amended the 1991 Coastal Zone Regulation (CRZ) notification under the Environment Protection Act (EPA), 1986 and handed over power to the MoST to grant environmental clearance to port projects. The MoST’s clearance powers were finally taken back three years later in 2000, but before this happened the MoST had already granted clearance to the port at Dhamra.
