印度全国野生生物委员会批准Vedanta集团的Cairn石油和天然气公司在Assam的Hollangapar Gibbon野生动物保护区生态敏感区进行勘探钻探。 The Indian National Board for Wildlife has approved Vedanta Group's Cairn Oil & Gas to conduct exploratory drilling in the eco-sensitive zone of Assam's Hoollongapar Gibbon Wildlife Sanctuary. 由联邦环境部长Bhupender Yadav担任主席的常设委员会于12月获得批准。 The Standing Committee, chaired by Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav, granted approval in December. Vedanta公司保证,钻探只是为了查明碳氢化合物储量,任何商业开采活动都将在生态敏感区以外进行。 Vedanta assures that drilling is only for identifying hydrocarbon reserves and that any commercial extraction would be done outside the eco-sensitive zone.
