&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Peeved at the appointment of &amp;ldquo;activists&amp;rdquo; in the forest panel for clearing Rs 54,000 crore steel project of Posco, Steel Minsiter Virbhadra Singh advised Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh to be &amp;ldquo;pragmatic.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The approach has to be pragmatic and not dogmatic. When there is an issue of development some sort of compromises have to be made,&amp;rdquo; Mr. Singh told PTI, when asked as to what his advice would be for Jairam Ramesh in the face of green delays in the projects.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Responding to queries over the delay in the project clearance, he said that known activists were being appointed in the fact finding committee.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;He was referring to the four-member panel comprising three activists - Uma Pingle, Devendra Pandey and V. Suresh - who have opposed the Rs 54,000 crore Korean steel giant Posco&amp;rsquo;s project, proposed in Jagatsinghpur in Orissa. The project is billed as the largest FDI in India.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;ArcelorMittal and Posco (entailing greenfield steel projects for 36 million tonnes) are important projects and their (Environment Ministry&amp;rsquo;s) approach should be pragmatic&amp;rdquo;, he said.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Asked if he would seek Prime Minister Manmohan Singh&amp;rsquo;s intervention for clearances, the senior minister said &amp;ldquo;he (PM) knows about it, he is keen that Posco project takes off. Jairam Ramesh knows it.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;I am very much concerned at the delay (in getting clearance to Posco and other projects). Wherever the land acquisition and environment clearance is concerned, the projects are piling up,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;What I feel is that the ministry has constituted several panels comprising of activists who have their own agenda.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;In the matter of Posco this is what has happened. I feel they are going beyond their mandate as members and their views are being coloured by activism,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Mr. Singh said that &amp;ldquo;there should be the people who should have broader perspective. Activists have a very limited view and they impose their views on everybody. That is the main problem.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;For reviewing various projects, Mr. Ramesh is understood to have hand picked Suresh and Pingle who are said to be long-time campaigners on tribal rights.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;When there is an issue of development, some sort of compromises have to be made,&amp;rdquo; he said, asserting that in important projects such as highways and mining, compensatory measures such as afforestation can be taken up to minimise the ecological loss. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The approach has to be pragmatic and not dogmatic. When there is an issue of development some sort of compromises have to be made,&amp;rdquo; Mr. Singh told PTI, when asked as to what his advice would be for Jairam Ramesh in the face of green delays in the projects.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Responding to queries over the delay in the project clearance, he said that known activists were being appointed in the fact finding committee.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;He was referring to the four-member panel comprising three activists - Uma Pingle, Devendra Pandey and V. Suresh - who have opposed the Rs 54,000 crore Korean steel giant Posco&amp;rsquo;s project, proposed in Jagatsinghpur in Orissa. The project is billed as the largest FDI in India.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;ArcelorMittal and Posco (entailing greenfield steel projects for 36 million tonnes) are important projects and their (Environment Ministry&amp;rsquo;s) approach should be pragmatic&amp;rdquo;, he said.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Asked if he would seek Prime Minister Manmohan Singh&amp;rsquo;s intervention for clearances, the senior minister said &amp;ldquo;he (PM) knows about it, he is keen that Posco project takes off. Jairam Ramesh knows it.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;I am very much concerned at the delay (in getting clearance to Posco and other projects). Wherever the land acquisition and environment clearance is concerned, the projects are piling up,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;In the matter of Posco this is what has happened. I feel they are going beyond their mandate as members and their views are being coloured by activism,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;For reviewing various projects, Mr. Ramesh is understood to have hand picked Suresh and Pingle who are said to be long-time campaigners on tribal rights.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;When there is an issue of development, some sort of compromises have to be made,&amp;rdquo; he said, asserting that in important projects such as highways and mining, compensatory measures such as afforestation can be taken up to minimise the ecological loss. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Peeved at the appointment of &amp;ldquo;activists&amp;rdquo; in the forest panel for clearing Rs 54,000 crore steel project of Posco, Steel Minsiter Virbhadra Singh advised Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh to be &amp;ldquo;pragmatic.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The approach has to be pragmatic and not dogmatic. When there is an issue of development some sort of compromises have to be made,&amp;rdquo; Mr. Singh told PTI, when asked as to what his advice would be for Jairam Ramesh in the face of green delays in the projects.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Responding to queries over the delay in the project clearance, he said that known activists were being appointed in the fact finding committee.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;He was referring to the four-member panel comprising three activists - Uma Pingle, Devendra Pandey and V. Suresh - who have opposed the Rs 54,000 crore Korean steel giant Posco&amp;rsquo;s project, proposed in Jagatsinghpur in Orissa. The project is billed as the largest FDI in India.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;ArcelorMittal and Posco (entailing greenfield steel projects for 36 million tonnes) are important projects and their (Environment Ministry&amp;rsquo;s) approach should be pragmatic&amp;rdquo;, he said.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Asked if he would seek Prime Minister Manmohan Singh&amp;rsquo;s intervention for clearances, the senior minister said &amp;ldquo;he (PM) knows about it, he is keen that Posco project takes off. Jairam Ramesh knows it.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;I am very much concerned at the delay (in getting clearance to Posco and other projects). Wherever the land acquisition and environment clearance is concerned, the projects are piling up,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;What I feel is that the ministry has constituted several panels comprising of activists who have their own agenda.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;In the matter of Posco this is what has happened. I feel they are going beyond their mandate as members and their views are being coloured by activism,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Activists have a very limited view and they impose their views on everybody. That is the main problem.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;For reviewing various projects, Mr. Ramesh is understood to have hand picked Suresh and Pingle who are said to be long-time campaigners on tribal rights.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;When there is an issue of development, some sort of compromises have to be made,&amp;rdquo; he said, asserting that in important projects such as highways and mining, compensatory measures such as afforestation can be taken up to minimise the ecological loss. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Peeved at the appointment of &amp;ldquo;activists&amp;rdquo; in the forest panel for clearing Rs 54,000 crore steel project of Posco, Steel Minsiter Virbhadra Singh advised Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh to be &amp;ldquo;pragmatic.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The approach has to be pragmatic and not dogmatic. When there is an issue of development some sort of compromises have to be made,&amp;rdquo; Mr. Singh told PTI, when asked as to what his advice would be for Jairam Ramesh in the face of green delays in the projects.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Responding to queries over the delay in the project clearance, he said that known activists were being appointed in the fact finding committee.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;He was referring to the four-member panel comprising three activists - Uma Pingle, Devendra Pandey and V. Suresh - who have opposed the Rs 54,000 crore Korean steel giant Posco&amp;rsquo;s project, proposed in Jagatsinghpur in Orissa. The project is billed as the largest FDI in India.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;ArcelorMittal and Posco (entailing greenfield steel projects for 36 million tonnes) are important projects and their (Environment Ministry&amp;rsquo;s) approach should be pragmatic&amp;rdquo;, he said.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Asked if he would seek Prime Minister Manmohan Singh&amp;rsquo;s intervention for clearances, the senior minister said &amp;ldquo;he (PM) knows about it, he is keen that Posco project takes off. Jairam Ramesh knows it.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;I am very much concerned at the delay (in getting clearance to Posco and other projects). Wherever the land acquisition and environment clearance is concerned, the projects are piling up,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;What I feel is that the ministry has constituted several panels comprising of activists who have their own agenda.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;In the matter of Posco this is what has happened. I feel they are going beyond their mandate as members and their views are being coloured by activism,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Mr. Singh said that &amp;ldquo;there should be the people who should have broader perspective. Activists have a very limited view and they impose their views on everybody. That is the main problem.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;For reviewing various projects, Mr. Ramesh is understood to have hand picked Suresh and Pingle who are said to be long-time campaigners on tribal rights.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;When there is an issue of development, some sort of compromises have to be made,&amp;rdquo; he said, asserting that in important projects such as highways and mining, compensatory measures such as afforestation can be taken up to minimise the ecological loss. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Posco project: Steel Minister asks Ramesh to be ‘pragmatic’

Peeved at the appointment of “activists” in the forest panel for clearing Rs 54,000 crore steel project of Posco, Steel Minsiter Virbhadra Singh advised Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh to be “pragmatic.” “The approach has to be pragmatic and not dogmatic. When there is an issue of development some sort of compromises have to be made,” Mr. Singh told PTI, when asked as to what his advice would be for Jairam Ramesh in the face of green delays in the projects. Responding to queries over the delay in the project clearance, he said that known activists were being appointed in the fact finding committee. He was referring to the four-member panel comprising three activists - Uma Pingle, Devendra Pandey and V. Suresh - who have opposed the Rs 54,000 crore Korean steel giant Posco’s project, proposed in Jagatsinghpur in Orissa. The project is billed as the largest FDI in India. “ArcelorMittal and Posco (entailing greenfield steel projects for 36 million tonnes) are important projects and their (Environment Ministry’s) approach should be pragmatic”, he said. Asked if he would seek Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s intervention for clearances, the senior minister said “he (PM) knows about it, he is keen that Posco project takes off. Jairam Ramesh knows it. “I am very much concerned at the delay (in getting clearance to Posco and other projects). Wherever the land acquisition and environment clearance is concerned, the projects are piling up,” he said. “What I feel is that the ministry has constituted several panels comprising of activists who have their own agenda. “In the matter of Posco this is what has happened. I feel they are going beyond their mandate as members and their views are being coloured by activism,” he said. Mr. Singh said that “there should be the people who should have broader perspective. Activists have a very limited view and they impose their views on everybody. That is the main problem.” For reviewing various projects, Mr. Ramesh is understood to have hand picked Suresh and Pingle who are said to be long-time campaigners on tribal rights. “When there is an issue of development, some sort of compromises have to be made,” he said, asserting that in important projects such as highways and mining, compensatory measures such as afforestation can be taken up to minimise the ecological loss.
