The committee would probe all aspects of the scam, including land ownership and allotment as well as the various permissions and environmental violations. “A two-member committee has been formed on provisions of the Commission of Inquiry Act, 1952, as was announced during the recent winter session of the state legislature. The committee's terms of reference include inquiry into all aspects, including land ownership and allotment, permissions and environmental violations. The committee will submit its report within three months," Chavan said.
The committee would also look into violation, if any, by serving bureaucrats while giving clearances to the society at various stages. The violation of coastal zone regulations would also be probed.
Speaking to Business Standard, Subrahmaniam said, “I have accepted the state government's proposal to be a member of the committee. However, I have made it clear that the inquiry will be completed within a stipulated timeframe without seeking any extension." Read the full report here.
