Lavasa project important, must get green nod, says CM

On the day the state pollution control board filed the criminal case, Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan came out in support of the Lavasa project. “I have requested environment minister Jayanthi Natarajan to grant environment clearance to Lavasa phase-I if all the preconditions set by the ministry have been fulfilled,” he told reporters. Chavan said the project was important as it involved huge investments in the state.
