New Delhi: The ministry of environment is likely to give its nod for the proposed international airport project in Kannur soon. A final decision on the matter now rests with Union environment minister Jayanthi Natarajan, after a high-level panel has recommended the granting of green clearance to the airport.
The decision to recommend the environmental clearance for the airport was taken at the recent meeting of the Expert Appraisal Committee (EAC) for Building Construction, Coastal Regulation Zone, Infrastructure Development and miscellaneous projects.
The project proponents have been asked to submit details regarding the intersection plan of the proposed second approach to the airport, the energy and water conservation measures and the details of earth cutting and filling for the project before granting final approval.
