Lafarge to Pay Rs 100 crore For Afforestation of Meghalaya

lafarge New Delhi, Apr 13 : French multinational Lafarge on Monday agreed to the Centre’s proposal to increase its contribution from Rs 90 crore to Rs 100 crore towards afforestation and development of Meghalaya to get speedy permission to resume limestone supply from the state to its cement plant in Bangladesh.

But the Supreme Court insisted on environment clearance for the 116 acres of forest land diverted for mining activities after amicus curiae U U Lalit pointed out that the initial environmental impact assessment was done on the basis that it was barren land with no trees.
