Summary:
Kishor Rithe, another member of this committee, agreed it created a “conflict of interest” as committee is to decide on measures to be suggested. WII may take a decision after this appointment.Rithe stated this had not happened for the first time and in many instances. He said a member can either become consultant for project proponent or member of the committee but not both. It was suggested to include mitigation steps in forested areas near Bazargaon-Kelzar-Kondhali on NH6. BNHS in case of Navi Mumbai Airport was carrying out studies for the project proponents while being part of the project clearance committees too..
