The MoEF has issued a notice to Lavasa Corporation, a subsidiary of HCC.
The ministry on 26 November 2010 has sent a show cause notice to the company
for carrying out construction activities without its approval in 25,000 ha. It
has asked to stop all the construction work at the site till its reply on the
matter.
The MoEF has given 15 days time to HCC asking why unauthorised structures
erected by it without any environmental clearance between March 2003 to
September 2006 in Mulshi and Velhe Talukas in Pune should not be demolished in
its entirety.
Lavasa Corporation is developing the Lavasa Lake City near Pune in
Maharashtra. HCC is the main promoter of the project with 65 per cent stake.
