In an order of recall dated April 15, a copy of which is with Deccan Herald, the MoEF said the environment clearance granted to Saravati Builders and Constructions — under which DLF is putting up its luxury township in Dabolim, south Goa — was being “kept in abeyance” for a re-examination of the project.
The River Valley-DLF Goa project was being marketed as Goa’s largest luxury condominium with 600 apartments, row villas and a mega clubhouse spread over 19 acres of riverside property.
A writ petition filed by the environment watchdog Goa Foundation stalled the project earlier this year.
