• For decades, rather for centuries now we have
  been facing the heat of choosing a right balance
  between environment and infrastructure. The sad
  truth is that infrastructure keeps on winning
  with a sweeping majority always. Nobody gives a
  two bit damn about, how the environment is
  affected. But its interesting to note that some
  of the major property developments have also been
  stalled because of environment issues. This is
  majorly due to the gray areas surrounding
  sustainable development policies set by the
  government.

Gravity of the situation

• A few examples to throw more light into the
  gravity of the situation is,
• EIL (Environment Interest Litigation) against the
  proposed Pune Metro because the National Green
  Tribunal (NGT) feels that some of the routes
  overtake the river beds causing silt damage.
• In NCR millions of apartments violate the
  sanctity of the Okhla Bird Sanctuary and this is
  achieved through a MoEF notification.
• The Thane Municipal Corporation has made a
  proposal which will destroy 26 hectares of pure
  green in Sanjay Gandhi National Park for a road.

• Many like Vineet Relia, MD, SARE Homes feel that
  India is rushing up the infrastructure ladder and
  its a good thing. The sad part is many of the
  rushing ignores the environment. In his own
  words, Are we really so short of habitable land
  in urban India that we need to compromise on
  stated policies? Relia has shared his position
  and views on this matter.

• Manju Yagnik, VS, Nahar Group shares a different
  response by throwing light onto the fact of rapid
  development especially after the Modi regime but
  has been done with a focus on the environment
  also. She feels that most projects are taken
  after considering a lot of variables and factors
  like financials, connectivity, convenience etc
  and certainly environment also plays a major
  role.

• Looking at the way forward we have to concentrate
  on two major things. Better planning and green
  technologies should be the focus. Starting from
  planning to execution of projects environmental
  impact needs to be measured. There is a Native
  American proverb, The earth is not inherited
  from our ancestors, its borrowed from our
  children. Every development should happen
  keeping this proverb in our mind.
