Centre's green panel for action against Bhubaneshwar Power for violating EC norms
A green panel under the union environment ministry has recommended action against Bhubaneshwar Power Pvt Ltd (BPPL) for violating environment clearance (EC) norms with regard to transportation of coal by road, as per an official document.
The panel has said that BPPL must immediately stop road transport of coal from Talcher (97km) to its thermal power plant in Cuttack district, Odisha and only do it from the Raja Athagarh rail siding, as has been temporarily permitted till December 2018.
Consequently, the panel has also deferred its decision on the company's proposal seeking extension of temporary permission for road transportation
