Executive Summary & Key Takeaways

What it means

  • This gazette notification amends a previous notification (S.O. 3027(E), dated September 13, 2017) that declared an Eco-sensitive Zone (ESZ) around Madhav National Park in Madhya Pradesh, India.
  • The amendment primarily focuses on establishing a Monitoring Committee to oversee the ESZ and its activities, defining the committee's functions, and clarifying the process for environmental clearances within the ESZ.

Key Changes

  • Paragraphs 5 and 6 of the original notification have been replaced with new paragraphs defining a Monitoring Committee and its functions.
  • The Monitoring Committee consists of 10 members, including representatives from government bodies (Divisional Commissioner, District Collector, Superintendent Engineers, Chief Executive Officer), pollution control board, State Biodiversity Board, NGOs, and an ecology expert.
  • The Committee's functions include scrutinizing activities within the ESZ, referring activities requiring environmental clearances to the appropriate authorities, filing complaints for violations, inviting stakeholders for consultation, submitting annual reports, and receiving directions from the Central Government.
  • The amendment clarifies the process for scrutinizing activities within the ESZ, differentiating between those listed in Schedule to S.O. 1533(E) dated September 14, 2006 and those not listed. All activities (except prohibited ones) will be reviewed by the Monitoring Committee.
