SC PANEL AGAINST RAIL EXPANSION PROJECT IN GOA

PANAJI: In a big win for environmental activists in Goa, the Central Empowered Committee constituted by the Supreme Court has said there is “no justification” for undertaking the doubling of the existing single line railway tracks between Tinaighat in North Karnataka and the port town of Vasco da Gama in Goa — that cuts across the ecologically sensitive Western Ghats — and recommended that the permissions to the project be revoked.

In its report, which was submitted to the Supreme Court, CEC also recommended that the Goatamnar 440KV power line be set up along the alignment of the existing powerline so that fresh forest areas are not intruded into.

The trio of projects was opposed by environmental activists in Goa who feared the projects would irreversibly damage the sensitive and biodiverse ecosystems of the region recognised as one of the world’s top biodiversity hotspots.
