Executive Summary & Key Takeaways

What it means

  • This gazette notification amends a previous notification (S.O. 1659(E), dated 17th June 2015) that declared an Eco-Sensitive Zone (ESZ) around Kapilash Wildlife Sanctuary in Odisha, India.
  • The amendment primarily focuses on revising the composition and responsibilities of the Monitoring Committee overseeing the ESZ.

Key Changes

  • The composition of the Monitoring Committee has been redefined. The new committee consists of eight members with specified roles, including the District Collector (Chairman), Superintendent of Police, representatives from the Collector's office and Odisha State Pollution Control Board, an environment expert nominated by the Odisha government (every three years), a representative from an NGO (also nominated every three years), and the Divisional Forest Officer (Member Secretary).
  • The Monitoring Committee's responsibilities now explicitly include scrutinizing activities within the ESZ, based on site-specific conditions. It will review activities listed in Schedule to S.O. 1533(E), dated 14th September 2006, and refer them for prior environmental clearances as needed.
  • The Committee will also scrutinize activities not listed in the aforementioned schedule and refer them to relevant regulatory authorities.
  • The Member-Secretary, concerned Collector, or Deputy Conservator of Forests can file complaints under Section 19 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 against violations.
