Himachal court cancels green nod to Grasim cement unit

In a major jolt to the Himachal Pradesh Government's effort to have mega cement plants, the state high court has quashed the environmental clearance given to Grasim India's proposed Rs 1,200 crore cement unit at Sundernagar in Mandi district. The court also struck down a 2009 notification issued by the state government for acquiring land for the unit. Contact: Grasim Cement. Tel: 022-6652 5000/2499 5000. Fax: 022-6652 5114/2499 5114.
