Union Environment Ministry has directed state-level green panels to seek all relevant information at one go to ensure speedy clearances of building projects. In an official memorandum, the ministry said it has come to its notice that State Level Environment Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA) and State Level Expert Appraisal Committee (SEAC) seek piecemeal information and even some are not related to environmental concerns. <br/><br/>To meet the stipulated timelines, avoid duplication of work and speed up the process of scrutiny, the Ministry said SEIAAs and SEACs should only focus on some key thrust areas of environmental sustainability while appraising the projects. The state-level green panels have been asked to strictly<br/>adhere to the stipulated timelines. The direction came in the wake of delay in approval of construction and building projects in different states.
