The Tamil Nadu state government’s proposal to construct the Kalaignar Pen Monument at Chennai’s Marina Beach has received Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) clearance from the Union Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC). The clearance comes with certain conditions that need to be met to ensure the protection of the marine ecosystem and wildlife.
The CRZ clearance was granted based on recommendations from the Expert Appraisal Committee (CRZ) and the Tamil Nadu Coastal Zone Management Authority. The Ministry reserves the right to revoke or suspend the clearance if the conditions are not satisfactorily implemented. The project’s environmental statement must be submitted annually to the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board, and compliance with the conditions should be uploaded on the Public Works Department (PWD) website.
The Environment Ministry has outlined 15 conditions that must be adhered to during the construction and maintenance of the Kalaignar Pen Monument. These conditions include obtaining a No Objection Certificate from the Naval office in Adyar, conducting erosion and accretion studies, and preventing the dumping of construction debris in water bodies or adjacent areas.
