NEW DELHI (AP) — India's Environment Ministry has given its approval for a massive hillside housing project which it had halted a year earlier for violating altitude restrictions and failing to obtain proper permits.
Activists have alleged that state officials had allowed construction on the site in Maharashtra state to begin without permits because the agriculture minister's daughter once held a stake in the $565 million project. Authorities are investigating the allegation.
The Environment Ministry said Wednesday the developers, Hindustan Construction Co., must strictly comply with all environmental regulations.
The Lavasa project, to be completed in 2020, is to consist of four or five towns built on seven hills and be inhabited by about 200,000 people.
