Quickly responding to a green activist’s complaint to the prime minister against a “faulty” Coastal Zone Management Plan (CZMP) maps that pushed the high tide line (HTL) into the Arabian Sea, the Centre has asked the Maharashtra government to probe and report back.

NatConnect Foundation Director B N Kumar has complained to the PM that the CZMP-2019 by the Union Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MOEFCC) has not taken the ground realities into account and changed the coastal regulation zone status of Raigad district.
