EQUATIONS comments to the Pre Draft Coastal Regulation Zone Notification 2010
May 28, 2010 | Papers

While we continue to identify various instances of CRZ violations by the tourism industry across the country, the  Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) in April 2010, issued another Pre Draft Coastal Regulation Zone Notification 2010 to amend the Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) Notification 1991. MoEF continues to take the notification route in spite of a  longstanding demand by coastal communities, movements and civil society organisations for a comprehensive legislation to regulate the coast. A democratic system of governance calls for a regulatory mechanism through legislation for the significant and extensive coastline of India. This brief paper is our comments related to tourism and  the Pre Draft Coastal Regulation Zone Notification 2010. Our covering letter to Minister Jairam Ramesh is also uploaded.
