Tamil Nadu Government opposed the Centre’s notification exempting atomic mineral mining from public consultation.
He urged centre to withdraw the office memorandum issued by the Union Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change.
The memorandum, dated September 8, 2025, exempts projects involving atomic, critical, and strategic minerals from public consultation.
TN cited past legal precedents, including the Supreme Court’s 2020 judgment in Alembic Pharmaceuticals Ltd. v. Rohit Prajapati, against amending law through executive orders.
