The ministry said the list was published on the direction of Minister Sita Badi to incorporate additional suggestions before the Cabinet makes a decision on the listing.
The ministry has asked interested parties to submit their feedback within two days via email. It said the suggestions received will be reviewed and incorporated into the further process where necessary.
