Though the government is still to take a view on the recommendations of the T S R Subramanian panel on changes in environmental laws, the Parliamentary Standing Committee related to the ministries of Science and Technology and Environment has taken up the panel’s report for discussions and begun hearing views of various stakeholders.
On Friday, the Standing Committee, headed by former Law Minister Ashwani Kumar invited eight environmental experts to know about their opinion on the Subramanian committee recommendations.
The committee was constituted by the Environment Ministry last year to suggest changes in six existing environmental laws with the objective of bringing them in line with current requirements. But the committee recommended the creation of a new environmental governance architecture.
The government is still to accept or reject the recommendations. But Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar has said amendments to many green laws would be brought in the budget session of Parliament and these would broadly be based on the recommendations made by the Subramanian Committee.
