&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The move is aimed at helping corporate biggies that have recently forayed into the commercial coal mining sector.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;In yet another attempt to help corporate biggies that have recently forayed into commercial coal mining, the Narendra Modi government has tweaked an environmental law to allow extraction of combustible mineral even before obtaining final forest clearance.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Forest Advisory Committee (FAC) of the Union Ministry of Environment, Forests &amp;amp; Climate Change (MoEF&amp;amp;CC), in a meeting held in the last week of November, allowed commencement of mining activities in non-forest parts of coal lease areas simply by obtaining Stage I of forest clearance under the Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;As per environment laws, mining operations can commence only after obtaining final forest clearance from the government. However, the FAC has now decided that in certain lease areas that comprise both forest and non-forest land, mining activities for coal can commence on the latter even with Stage II clearance pending.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The decision was taken at the behest of the Union Ministry of Coal which had requested the MoEF&amp;amp;CC to allow commencement of mining operations in non-forest areas in projects where Stage-I approval for forest area and environment clearance for the project has been obtained.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;In yet another attempt to help corporate biggies that have recently forayed into commercial coal mining, the Narendra Modi government has tweaked an environmental law to allow extraction of combustible mineral even before obtaining final forest clearance.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Forest Advisory Committee (FAC) of the Union Ministry of Environment, Forests &amp;amp; Climate Change (MoEF&amp;amp;CC), in a meeting held in the last week of November, allowed commencement of mining activities in non-forest parts of coal lease areas simply by obtaining Stage I of forest clearance under the Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;As per environment laws, mining operations can commence only after obtaining final forest clearance from the government. However, the FAC has now decided that in certain lease areas that comprise both forest and non-forest land, mining activities for coal can commence on the latter even with Stage II clearance pending.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The decision was taken at the behest of the Union Ministry of Coal which had requested the MoEF&amp;amp;CC to allow commencement of mining operations in non-forest areas in projects where Stage-I approval for forest area and environment clearance for the project has been obtained.&lt;/p&gt;

Modi Govt Tweaks Green Law to Allow Coal Extraction Sans Final Forest Clearance -Ayaskant Das

-Newsclick.in The move is aimed at helping corporate biggies that have recently forayed into the commercial coal mining sector. New Delhi: In yet another attempt to help corporate biggies that have recently forayed into commercial coal mining, the Narendra Modi government has tweaked an environmental law to allow extraction of combustible mineral even before obtaining final forest clearance. The Forest Advisory Committee (FAC) of the Union Ministry of Environment, Forests & Climate Change (MoEF&CC), in a meeting held in the last week of November, allowed commencement of mining activities in non-forest parts of coal lease areas simply by obtaining Stage I of forest clearance under the Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980. As per environment laws, mining operations can commence only after obtaining final forest clearance from the government. However, the FAC has now decided that in certain lease areas that comprise both forest and non-forest land, mining activities for coal can commence on the latter even with Stage II clearance pending. The decision was taken at the behest of the Union Ministry of Coal which had requested the MoEF&CC to allow commencement of mining operations in non-forest areas in projects where Stage-I approval for forest area and environment clearance for the project has been obtained.
