EIA- (environmental impact assesment) என்பதே நம் சுற்றுச்சூழலை நாம் பாதுகாப்பதற்காகதான். பொதுமக்களின் கருத்து கேட்பு தேவையில்லை என்பதே எதிர்மறையான ஒன்று. - வெண்ணிலா தாயுமானவன்

#CallForUnity If we wish to succeed in our fight against the #Govt & @moefcc on any environmental issue, especially #EIADraft2020, then I believe all the environmentalists & activists have to start working together. A #CoalitionOfEnvironmentalists is the need of the hour. 
I knw we all have different approaches, different organisations, social media handles & more often then not we do not agree with each other. But one thing we hav in common is our love for the environment & our planet. Let’s use it to unite us against our #ruthless adversary .
We all know that the govt is going full steam ahead to destroy our forests, rivers, environmental safeguards, etc. In the name of development.They are committed to their mission. Question is are we committed enough to sacrifice our individuality to protect our planet-our future?
#EIA2020 fails to acknowledge the grave ecological crises that the country is facing. Here are 5 reasons why #DraftEIA2020 should be withdrawn, by @CPR_Climate's Shibani Ghosh [1/7].

First, #EIADraft2020 is legally untenable. It does not conform to its parent Act, the Environment (Protection) Act 1986. Contrary to the aims of the EP Act, it reduces the *scope & stringency* of environmental impact assessments, threatening local ecologies and people. [2/7]
Second, worryingly, #EIA2020 allows the government to grant environmental clearances to projects that have *already commenced illegally without a clearance,* going against the very rationale of the EIA notification. [3/7]
Summarising some areas of concerns on #EIADraft2020.
1. Post facto Enviromental Clearance - This allows regularisation of projects started without prior EC on payment of fine.
The SC has repeatedly said that post facto EC is impermissible.

2. Relaxation for mining projects : In 2012, the SC held in 'Deepak Kumar' case that mining projects of even less than 5 hectares require prior EC. Attempts to dilute this subsequently were stopped by NGT. As per #EIADraft2020, mining projects less than 5Ha are in B2 category.
3. This means, there is no need for EC. They only need to take what is called a "Prior Environment Permission" which is easily obtainable, without Environment Impact Assessment, Public Consultation and scrutiny by Expert Appraisal Committee.

#EIADraft2020 தமிழகத்தில் தவறாக சித்தரிக்கப்பட்டு, விவசாயிகளுக்கு எதிரானது என பொய் பிரச்சாரம் கட்டமைக்கப்படுகிறது. இக்குற்றச்சாட்டை வைப்பவர்கள் எப்பிரிவுகளின் கீழ் பாதகம் என சொல்ல முடியவில்லை. இதை தெளிவுபடுத்த நான் அளித்துள்ள நேர்காணல்கள்.

SCOOP: It may be public knowledge that the environment ministry bungled up public consultation for #EIAdraft2020 But when it was questioned about this, the ministry brazenly misled the Karnataka High Court. See highlights in thread, details in the story: bit.ly/3jNJ0eD
Here's the chronology: On 16 July, the Karnataka HC directed the MoEF&CC to ensure “wide publicity” for the #EIAdraft2020 more than two weeks after the Delhi HC directed the ministry to translate the law into India’s 22 local languages. Details here bit.ly/30tHiGj
The translations of the draft notification should be published on the websites of the environment ministries of the Central and state governments as well as the State Pollution Control Boards for wide public consultation, the Delhi HC judgment had said. bit.ly/2YWo4K5
The Draft #EIA2020 Bill is a must read document. 83 pages but priceless. It systematically goes about removing several environmental safefguards ,transferring huge powers to Govt & dismantling even the minimal rights of the public to question violations #EIAdraft2020
Some highlights.
1. Central Govt can declare any Project as "strategic"without assigning any reason. No details of such projects will be placed in public domain.
2.Violations can be taken cognizance of only if reported by Govt or regulatory authority or by violators themselves

Public cannot question violations.
3. Violators can apply for post facto clearances taking steps to remedy the situation and compensating for the same. So you can start a project without all clearances and apply for them later
