The National Green Tribunal, Chennai, has directed a joint committee to ascertain whether any construction has been made on Karwar Beach and in Kali riverbank areas in violation of CRZ rules and to identify such illegal constructions.
An applicant had alleged that large-scale constructions were going on in the CRZ area without obtaining necessary permissions and sought the withdrawal of the Draft CZMP 2019 of Karnataka Karwar Coast and withdraw the gazette notification to extend the port limit on the Karnataka coast.
The Tribunal said that the draft CZMP was only a draft notification and it was for authorities to finalise it after considering objections raised by the public. The Tribunal also said that the second prayer was of a matter from 2016 and the applicant could not challenge it after a lapse of nearly five years.
