Natarajan is diplomatic and will never officially put any blame on Ramesh for the strained relations between the environment ministry and the ministries of power, coal and surface transport over clearances to various projects.
All she has to say when asked about the subject is: “We believe sustainable development will happen... Development and environment can go hand in hand."
Natarajan's recipe for rebuilding relationships with other relevant ministries is simple: Meet the ministers concerned and thrash out problem areas. She made a beginning by meeting commerce and industry minister Anand Sharma on Wednesday. Sources said the two discussed the proposed manufacturing policy and industry concerns on green clearances for projects. Read the full report here.
