33.2.4 47 Application for grant of environmental clearance

for Multiplex & Shopping Mall namely “Omaxe Mall” to be developed by M/s Omaxe Ltd. at G.T. Road, Jalandhar Bye-pass, Ludhiana.

M/s Omaxe Ltd. has applied for grant of environmental

clearance for Multiplex & Shopping Mall namely “Omaxe Mall” to be developed at

G.T. Road, Jalandhar Bye-pass, Ludhiana.

The case was placed before the State Expert Appraisal

Committee for consideration in its 17th meeting held on 17/1/2009. During

meeting, Committee noted that the project proponent had continued with the

construction, although he was asked to stop the construction work, to submit an

affidavit with an undertaking not to execute works without obtaining

environmental clearance from the Govt. of India, Ministry of Environment &

Forests vide letter no. 21-622/2007-IA.III dated 14/1/2008. The project

proponent had submitted an affidavit to Ministry of Environment & Forests that it

had stopped the construction work of its project at Jalandhar Bye-pass, G.T.

Road, Ludhiana. Further, the project proponent had submitted its application to

SEIAA, Punjab for grant of environmental clearance on 7/4/2008, whereas, a

parallel proposal of the project proponent for grant of environmental clearance

was under consideration in the Ministry of Environment & Forests at that time and

the project proponent had concealed this information from SEIAA. As such, it was

decided by the Committee to recommend the project to SEIAA for refusal of

environmental clearance due to the following reasons:-

i) The project proponent had concealed the information from SEIAA, Punjab

that its application was also under process with the Ministry of

Environment & Forests, Govt. of India, when it applied to SEIAA, Punjab

for grant of environmental clearance on 7/4/2008.

ii) The conc. of SPM and RSPM at site as per the air quality monitoring data is

beyond the prescribed standards.

iii) The project proponent had failed to stop construction at the project site,

although the project proponent had submitted an affidavit with the Ministry

of Environment & Forests, Govt. of India to stop the construction work.

iv) As per the decision taken in the 10th meeting of SEAC held on 9/8/2008,

the promoter was requested vide letter no. 33640 dated 5/9/2008 to


15

submit revised layout plan with at least 2 no. additional recharge pits for

rainwater harvesting. However, as per the revised layout plan submitted by

the project proponent vide its letter dated 13/10/2008, the number of

rainwater harvesting pits is still the same i.e. 5 no. pits. This indicated the

casual approach of the promoter, while submitting the reply to the

observations of SEAC.

Subsequently, the case was considered by State Environment

Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA) in its 15th meeting held on 5/3/2009,

wherein the representative of the company submitted that the company has

earlier submitted application to the MOEF for grant of environmental clearance

which was considered by EAC, however, as soon as the State Authority was

constituted the company submitted a fresh application to the State authority. The

observations made by the EAC were considered by the company while submitting

the application to the state authority but the failure of the company to intimate

about the observations of EAC was a mistake on their part for which he tended an

unconditional apology on behalf of the company. He further submitted that the

public hearing of the project was also conducted by PPCB, wherein, the

participants of the public hearing have not raised any objection for establishment

of the project. After detailed deliberation on the matter the authority requested

the representative of the company to submit a comprehensive detailed written

justification in the matter for its consideration.

Now, the project proponent vide letter dated 14/10/2009 had

submitted the reply and the same has been considered by the Authority in its 22nd

meeting held on 19/10/2009, wherein the Authority decided that the case be

forwarded to State Expert Appraisal Committee to reexamine in the matter in view

of the representation submitted by the project proponent.

Accordingly, the case is placed before the Committee for

reconsideration.

clearance for Multiplex & Shopping Mall namely “Omaxe Terminal” to be

developed at Airport Road, Amritsar.

The case was considered in the 17th meeting of State Expert

Appraisal Committee held on 3/1/2009.

environmental clearance on 7/4/2008, whereas, a parallel proposal of the project

proponent for grant of environmental clearance was under consideration in the

Ministry of Environment & Forests at that time and the project proponent had

concealed this information from SEIAA.

Thus, it was decided to recommend the project to SEIAA for

refusal of environmental clearance due to the following reasons:-

i) The project proponent had concealed the information from SEIAA, Punjab

that its application was also under process with the Ministry of Environment

& Forests, Govt. of India, when it applied to SEIAA, Punjab for grant of

environmental clearance on 7/4/2008.

ii) The conc. of SPM and RSPM at site as per the air quality monitoring data is

beyond the prescribed standards.

Subsequently, the case was considered by State Environment

After detailed deliberation on the matter, the authority

requested the representative of the company to submit a comprehensive detailed

dated 14/10/2009 was considered by the Authority in its 22nd meeting held on

Accordingly, the case was deferred.

Now, Ministry of Environment & Forests vide no. F.No. J-
