CHENNAI: Between 2015 and 2022, the Tamil Nadu Coastal Zone Management Authority (TNCZMA) has granted coastal regulation zone (CRZ) clearances “incorrectly” to 114 out of 175 projects (65%) without forwarding them to appropriate authorities such as the Ministry of Environment, Forest, and Climate Change (MoEF&CC) or the State Environmental Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA) for approval, according to the CAG report.
