The intervening holidays during Christmas and new year have been cited as the second reason.

The reply was to be filed on December 14 according to the notice issued.

The notice was issued for revocation of environmental clearance in view of non-compliance to conditions stipulated while according environmental clearance to the six MTPA integrated steel plant and 1000 MW captive power plant at Kerjang, Angul, Orissa.
