&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The 2016 report had flagged the disastrous impact of unchecked illegal constructions; but it was never tabled in the Assembly&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Early warnings of a 2016 draft report of the Comptroller and Auditor General&amp;rsquo;s (CAG) Kerala office about the disastrous implications of the environmental degradation due to unchecked and illegal construction activities in the State seem to have been buried, with the report inexplicably not getting tabled in the State Assembly.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The report (a copy of which is with BusinessLine) titled &amp;lsquo;Implementation of Environmental Laws by Kerala State Pollution Control Board, Kerala Coastal Zone Management Authority (KCZMA), State Environment Impact Assessment Authority with respect to Apartments, Commercial Complexes, Hospitals, Hotels and Industrial units&amp;rsquo; had asked the State Government to investigate the lapse on the part of the Kerala State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) and the Local Self Government Institutions (LSGI) in not initiating legal action against Environment Clearance (EC) violations that took place between 2006 and 2013.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Principal Accountant General of Kerala during the period, Amar Patnaik, was &amp;ldquo;surprised&amp;rdquo; that the CAG had not tabled the report. &amp;ldquo;The report had details about the serious violations of environmental and coastal protection laws. It could have helped in creating awareness and equipping public during the floods of 2018, 2019 and 2021. I have written to the CAG to know why the report is not yet finalised and tabled,&amp;rdquo; Patnaik told BusinessLine.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The 2016 report had flagged the disastrous impact of unchecked illegal constructions; but it was never tabled in the Assembly&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Early warnings of a 2016 draft report of the Comptroller and Auditor General&amp;rsquo;s (CAG) Kerala office about the disastrous implications of the environmental degradation due to unchecked and illegal construction activities in the State seem to have been buried, with the report inexplicably not getting tabled in the State Assembly.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The report (a copy of which is with BusinessLine) titled &amp;lsquo;Implementation of Environmental Laws by Kerala State Pollution Control Board, Kerala Coastal Zone Management Authority (KCZMA), State Environment Impact Assessment Authority with respect to Apartments, Commercial Complexes, Hospitals, Hotels and Industrial units&amp;rsquo; had asked the State Government to investigate the lapse on the part of the Kerala State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) and the Local Self Government Institutions (LSGI) in not initiating legal action against Environment Clearance (EC) violations that took place between 2006 and 2013.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Principal Accountant General of Kerala during the period, Amar Patnaik, was &amp;ldquo;surprised&amp;rdquo; that the CAG had not tabled the report. &amp;ldquo;The report had details about the serious violations of environmental and coastal protection laws.

Kerala floods and the CAG alarm bell that went unheeded -AM Jigeesh

-The Hindu Business Line The 2016 report had flagged the disastrous impact of unchecked illegal constructions; but it was never tabled in the Assembly Early warnings of a 2016 draft report of the Comptroller and Auditor General’s (CAG) Kerala office about the disastrous implications of the environmental degradation due to unchecked and illegal construction activities in the State seem to have been buried, with the report inexplicably not getting tabled in the State Assembly. The report (a copy of which is with BusinessLine) titled ‘Implementation of Environmental Laws by Kerala State Pollution Control Board, Kerala Coastal Zone Management Authority (KCZMA), State Environment Impact Assessment Authority with respect to Apartments, Commercial Complexes, Hospitals, Hotels and Industrial units’ had asked the State Government to investigate the lapse on the part of the Kerala State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) and the Local Self Government Institutions (LSGI) in not initiating legal action against Environment Clearance (EC) violations that took place between 2006 and 2013. Principal Accountant General of Kerala during the period, Amar Patnaik, was “surprised” that the CAG had not tabled the report. “The report had details about the serious violations of environmental and coastal protection laws. It could have helped in creating awareness and equipping public during the floods of 2018, 2019 and 2021. I have written to the CAG to know why the report is not yet finalised and tabled,” Patnaik told BusinessLine. Please click here to read more.
