Supreme court gives green signal for the Salem-Chennai Expressway project.
The Supreme Court on 8 December has approved the Union government's ambitious Salem-Chennai eight-lane Greenfield expressway, upholding the notifications issued for acquisition of land for the highway, and also ruled that prior environment clearance is not required for notification on land acquisition.
One of the positive outcomes of this verdict is that the Center can now go ahead with the planning of national highway projects at least until the stage of land acquisition without any worry.
