Saw a one page advertisement of Lavasa in yesterday's newspaper with bookings open for the gated communities... Thoughts went back to last 1-2 years...
For a one year period from late 2010 to late 2011, construction of Lavasa had to be halted due to orders obtained from the Ministry of Environment and Forests.[8] In late 2010 it ordered Lavasa Corporation to halt further construction for not having gathered proper clearances.[7]
In November 2011 this ministry relented, and construction is no longer impeded by law.[8] While grant of an environmental clearance was recommended in May 2011, Lavasa was only alerted to the fact that clearance was granted on 9 November 2011.[38]
(See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavasa)
Read this along with the fact that Jairam Ramesh held Ministry of Environment and Forests from May 2009 to July 2011...
Found funny on seeing this too in the lavasa website:

which glorifies the bio diversity of the region which is in the banks of River Mosey, this time to market themselves...
