ECRL land clearing fully compliant

KUALA LUMPUR: The land clearing for the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) project in Selangor does not involve any de-gazettement of forest reserves, including those within the Selangor State Park, says Malaysia Rail Link Sdn Bhd (MRL).

Instead, the project owner said to safeguard the environment, the project had complied with the approved environmental impact assessment, environmental management plan and erosion and sediment control plans guidelines, as well as conditions that were prescribed by the Environment Department (DOE) and Department of Irrigation and Drainage.
