"The processes of getting the NOCs were cumbersome and time consuming. GCCI had represented to the government to do away with these complicated processes and thanks to Chief Minister Pramod Sawant, Environment Minister Nilesh Cabral, Secretary (Environment) Arun Kumar Mishra, GSPCB Chairman Mahesh Patil and Member Secretary Shamila Monteiro for this excellent initiative."
"It may be noted that GSPCB has reduced time for granting consent to establish and consent to operate in all categories. One more major welcome change is the auto renewal facility and acceptance of self attested certificates. GCCI requests that other departments takes cue from these and make similar changes in their procedures," stated Amonkar.
