The Karnataka government has sought extension of time by 15 days to give its comments on the K Kasturirangan report on conservation of Western Ghats to the Centre.
Forest and Environment Minister B Ramanath Rai and Law and Parliamentary Affairs Minister T B Jayachandra held a meeting with Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Wednesday and decided to submit the state’s comments on the report to the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) before April 30.
Earlier, the Centre had asked states to give their comments on the report before April 15.
Both the ministers briefed the chief minister about the work done by the Cabinet sub-committee on the Kasturirangan report. Committee members visited a few Western Ghat districts and reviewed the implications of the report.
MoEF wrote to the six states under Western Ghats region seeking comments on the Kasturirangan Report. So far, only Kerala has submitted its objections to the Centre.
