Environment Ministry’s rules for polluters in India, copied word for word from the US -Jay Mazoomdaar

-The Indian Express

The Ministry notified and put up the draft on its website on May 10, inviting public feedback over a two-month window.

New Delhi:
More than three quarters of the Environment Ministry’s Environment Supplement Plan (ESP) — around 2,900 words of the 3,850-word draft — is a direct lift from the Supplemental Environmental Projects Policy (SEP) document adopted by the United States in March 2015.

The draft notification proposes to allow those who go ahead with project work without prior environmental clearance under Environment Impact Assessment Notification (EIA), 2006 to “remediate the damage caused” and compensate by implementing the ESP. Under existing laws, these are criminal offences punishable with imprisonment.
