Odisha coal mining project faces legal scrutiny: NGT orders review
The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has issued notices to the Indian and Odisha governments, along with Singareni Collieries Company Ltd (SCCL), a joint venture between the governments of India and Telangana, over concerns about a proposed coal mining project in Angul district, Odisha.
The project, located in Chhendipada tehsil, has faced opposition from local residents who have filed a petition alleging that the environmental and social impact assessments have been inadequate and that the project violates the Forest Rights Act, 2006.
This legislation aims to protect the rights of forest-dwelling communities, including the right to forest resources and the right to prior informed consent for any development projects that may impact their livelihoods.
