For once 5 lac crore investment halted for Right reasons!! Hail the Minister
This is the amount of investment halted due to the strict norms imposed by our Existing Environmental Minister Mr. Jairam Ramesh.
Rs2 lac crore wasted by Mr. Raja and all that he does is get back and sleep at peace in his own constituency.
Now here is one minister who is working day in and day out to ensure that the environmental laws are adhered to but he is being booed all around. In-fact Wall Street Journal lambasted him for concentrating too much on environment than on development.
All that Mr. Ramesh is asking for is to ensure that the laws are followed. Being in the industry, I know that many corporates do not follow much of the environmental laws. It is only under the reign of Mr. Ramesh that people started worrying about environment.
Earlier the biggest threat for the completion of a power plant was fuel, land availability etc. Now the biggest concern is getting Environment Clearance. Companies used to get the clearance quite easily, but now when the voices of the local residents are being heard by the environmental minister and he is taking some stringent action the industry is getting against him.
Of all the people even Mr. Sharad Pawar, one of the most tainted men in politics is also questioning the credibility of Mr. Ramesh.
I just hope he doesn't end up as Shashi Tharoor who had to quit for reasons which are not worth this blog.
Mr. Ramesh is not giving clearances for any power plant because of the rehabilitation issues which only the persons who lost the land can understand. It is easier for all of us sitting in the shade of concrete roof to question the intention of the minister for not permitting the industry, but the GDP growth that India is securing is coming at a huge cost of the environment which none of us is able to foresee.
China is already facing the wrath, but is keeping everything under closed wraps.
Ever thought about the benefits of actions taken by Mr. Ramesh...Land of Lord Jagannath temple in Puri is saved due to his indirect action, Avatar in making was averted in Nyamgiri Hills, Much of North East is saved from a landscape devastation and industry & common men have become much more aware about environment.
I might have lost some of my potential income due to Mr. Ramesh, but he has proved that at times short term gains have to be sacrificed for the bigger benefits.
