THIRUVANANTHAPURAM /ARANMULA:In what could be viewed as a step towards the possible revival of the proposed Rs 2,000 crore Aranmula airport project, the Union Environment Ministry (MoEF) has given its nod to the promoters for a fresh Environment Impact Assessment.
The National Green Tribunal (NGT) had earlier cancelled environmental clearance given to the project pointing out flaws in the EIA study.
The Expert Appraisal Committee (EAC) under the MoEF, which met in New Delhi on Friday, permitted KGS Group, promoters of the project, to go ahead with the EIA while considering their plea in this regard. The EAC rejected the arguments that the proposed site was not suitable for the airport project.
