Union environment minister Jairam Ramesh has fired another salvo at the on-going multi-billion dollar private port project being promoted by Mundra Port and SEZ Limited.
In a stunning blow to Adani group promoted project, the Environment & Forests Ministry has issued a show cause notice.
Acting on a complaint of NGO, Machimar Adhikar Sangharsh Sangathan, the ministry asked the port to reply in 15 days why the clearance accorded to the west port and north port and the environmental clearance accorded to the township project by SEIAA should not be cancelled.
