CRZ NOC issues will be solved once CZMP comes into force: CM

The Coastal Zonal Management Plan plan will boost tourism infrastructure in coastal areas. At present, Tourism department faces big hurdles as sometimes Coastal Regulatory Zone do not give No Objection Certificate for the project. The process to get the NOC will be smooth once the CZMP is ready, Chief Minister Pramod Sawant told the house during question hour.

The issue was raised by MGP MLA Sudin Dhavlikar. He questioned how projects are passed before getting the NOC from the CRZ body.

Tourism Minister Babu Azgaonkar said the projects are passed to avail funds from the Centre under Swadesh Darshan Scheme. If CRZ do not give NOC then funds are used for other projects, he said.
