He said the report based on which the decision was taken to give clearance to Demwe Lower project was “faulty”

New Delhi:
A wildlife expert has appealed to the Union forest and environment ministry to roll back the clearance given to the Demwe Lower project, saying the report based on which the decision was taken, was “faulty”.

A wildlife conservationist from Assam, Bimal Gogoi, who was an appellant in the National Green Tribunal, had filed an appeal challenging the forest clearance granted to the project. He said the clearance given by the standing committee of the National Board for Wildlife (SC-NBWL) was based on a “faulty” report submitted by the Wildlife Institute of India (WII).

“The clearance to the Demwe Lower project based on a faulty WII report is shocking and should be reversed,” he said in his letter to forest minister Harsh Vardhan and members of the standing committee of the NBWL.

The 1,750MW Demwe project, proposed to be constructed in Lohit district of Arunachal Pradesh, is being executed jointly by Athena Energy Ventures and the Arun-achal Pradesh government.

The committee, while clearing the project, said taking into account that construction of the dam and associated infrastructure would require time (three to four years), it would be prudent to consider the construction of the dam at this stage and subsequently operate it at natural levels of inflow and outflow to generate power.
