As  per  the  draft, temporary tourism facilities will be allowed in Ecologically Sensitive Areas (MCRZ I) including basic infrastructure for local inhabitants within 50 meters from the High Tide Line in rural areas. It empowers the State and Union Territory Governments for developmental activities including construction of STPs, link Road of public interests in their respective MCRZ areas.
