The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change has come up with the Ecomark Rules, 2024 to label products that follow its criteria. This ‘Ecomark’ on products will also enable consumers to make informed decisions.
The Environment Ministry of Karnataka has suggested this ESZ be brought down to 100 meters from 10 kilometers, facing sharp criticism from residents in and around the area.
In a move that is good for the environment but not likely to be popular with the construction industry, the Environment Ministry has declared that it will be mandatory to take environment clearance (EC) from a district level authority in order to do sand and gravel mining in a lease area below five hectares as well.
