Considering increasing number of construction works in Mumbai, Maharashtra government wants to set up a separate committee to give environmental approvals to the works.

"We have requested the Centre to allow us to form a separate sub-committee for approving infrastructure works in the city," minister of state for environment, Sachin Ahir told PTI.

As of now, the proposals go to environment department which is burdened with permissions for the infrastructure and construction works. The number of cases pending before the department is huge and delays the overall process of approval, Ahir said.

The sub-committee is expected to handle only Mumbai related infrastructural cases, so that the work would start on time, he said.

Many of the infrastructure works in Mumbai fall under Coastal Regulatory Zone (CRZ) areas, as the city is surrounded by sea. These works need special clearance and assurance to protect the environment in the respective areas.

The city is undergoing major transformation with on going Metro rail, monorail, sealink and other infrastructural projects.
