Ramesh puts his foot down on MorgaII coalblock. Days after clearing a bunch of coal blocks for power plants in Chhattisgarh`s HasdeoArand region, Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh rejected forest clearance to another project, saying it is in "nogo" core area.
Parsa is one of the 30 coal blocks in Hasdeo Arand and is owned by the Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Ltd (RVUNL).

The contract for Mine Developer and Operator was given to Adani Enterprises. Parsa, the latest to get clearance is contiguous to PEKB and Tara coal blocks. All three lie in the Hasdeo Arand Coalfields. But the forest with more than 1,70,000 hectares of dense cover is .
The Parsa coal block lies contiguous to Parsa East and Kete Basan (PEKB) and Tara coal blocks in the Hasdeo Arand Coalfields. The area is rich in forestland and most of the coal blocks are in moderately to densely forested areas. Given the ecology, concerns of biodiversity, and wildlife management, coal mining in this area has been controversial for years.
Chhattisgarh's Hasdeo Arand forests are not just rich in biodiversity but also in coal reserves. Until 15 years ago, the area had no active coal fields, but now, mining is ongoing in a couple of mines while authorities are considering green clearances for many other coal blocks in the region.
Villagers in the Hasdeo region recently took out a 28kilometre long foot march to protest against it," Shukla told MongabayIndia. Stuck in the midst of bureaucracy, politicians and the courts, the biodiversity and coalrich Hasdeo Arand forest region in Chhattisgarh, stares at a grim future.
