The Indian government has setup a plan to keep a tab on violation of environmental guidelines by various industries. With a standard operating procedure that shows that projects without prior environmental clearance will have to face the heat.
According to the reports, the SOP has the provision of penalty and clamping down of industries without required permissions and the projects which have extended the permitted limits and are currently functioning will have to go back to their original limits.
Prakash Javadekar, Union Environment Minister, informed that the unbridled carbon emissions especially by Europe and the US over the last 200 years, and in the last 40 years by China have caused the climate change disaster. He also said that India’s contribution to climate change in the last 200 years has been only three per cent.
He said “India’s contribution to climate change in the last 200 years is just three per cent. The unbridled carbon emissions particularly by Europe, USA and in the last 40 years by China, caused climate change disaster. These countries prospered economically but polluted the world.”
“India is one of the countries with the least contribution in climate change,” he added.
With the new SOP in place and the government closely monitoring the implementation of environmental laws, the violators are likely to face the music.
