Patna : Former Bihar Deputy CM and senior BJP Sushil Kumar Modi ( SuMo) on May 19, 2017, claimed that the Union Environment and Forest ministry has ordered the construction work of a mall being built here by a company, in which RJD supremo Lalu Prasad’s son Tejashwi Yadav is allegedly a director, be stopped.

SuMo claimed that the Union Ministry of Environment and Forest has ordered the construction of the mall at Saguna Mor here be stopped as it is “being built without obtaining environmental clearance”. He claimed that in an order dated May 15, 2017, the union ministry has said, “The project required prior environmental clearance and it is now a case of violation of Environment Impact Assessment Notification, 2006, as the work at the site has been undertaken without obtaining prior environmental clearance.”

SuMo, who distributed the copy of the order to the mediapersons, said four days have lapsed since the order was passed but the state government is yet to take a decision to stop the construction work. He dared Bihar CM Nitish Kumar to intervene into the illegal construction of the mall, stop the construction work, seal the project and seize the benami property.
