Norms eased for setting up Coastal Police Stations

To enable speedy setting up of coastal police stations, the Government of India has issued orders easing the norms relating to environmental clearances under the Coastal Regulation Zone Notification 1991. It has been decided to consider these police stations under the category of projects requiring waterfront. These coastal police stations are required for defence, policing and vigilance purposes in coastal areas whose nature of work required special consideration.
