SC SLAMS BRAKES ON TATA CAMELOT

CHANDIGARH: The Supreme Court on Tuesday put brakes on ₹1,800-crore Tata Camelot residential project near Sukhna Lake, holding that it violated environmental norms. Under the project, conceived in 2007 and marred by controversies ever since, Tata Housing Development Company Ltd (Tata HDCL) was to construct 2,100 apartments, including 95 for Punjab MLAS. The bench observed that it was “clear” why state permitted setting up of highrise buildings in an eco-sensitive zone.
