Fifteen institutions are under scanner for illegal construction and posing a threat to the fragile eco-system of the Western Ghats.
Town and Country Planning Department has issued notices to 15 institutions in and around Coimbatore that were constructed without the approval of Hill Area Conservation Authority, according to Commissioner of Town and Country Planning.
Sources from Town and Country Planning said the department is planning to initiate action against the erring institutions.
According to documents available with Express the institutions that did not comply with HACA guidelines include Karunya University, Eavgeline Matriculation Higher Secondary School, Chinmaya International Residential School, Isha Yoga Centre in Velliangiri foothills, Isha Vidhya Matriculation School, Sandegoundernpalayam in Coimbatore, Isha Home School, Tamara Resorts, Kovai Kalai Magal College of Arts and science and Coimbatore Institute of Engineering and Technology.
The others include Black Thunder Theme Park, Indus College of Engineering , SAN International Business School, Satchidananda Jothi Niketan and Coimbatore Institute of Management and Technology.
Sources said that commissioner of town and country planning has issued notices to 13 institutions last year and two were given notices on January 7, 2013.
Interestingly, this comes in the wake of illegal constructions as well as quarries springing up in the hill areas of Tamil Nadu resulting in alarming decline in the eco-system of the Western Ghats.
Sources said that majority of development activities are carried out only with the interests of large number of agencies – public and private as such it is resulting in serious stress on the environment and man-animal conflict.
Sources also said that in the wake of allegations over quarrying activities posing a threat to the Western Ghats, HACA has insisted forest department to take up detailed study on environmental aspect due to quarrying activities in its 45th meeting. Interestingly, this comes in the wake of HACA instructing random checks on various parties who have been accorded approval to set up quarries in the hill areas. Surprisingly, agricultural engineering department has informed HACA that sample cases have been taken up for inspection and no violations were found.
