-Hindustan Times

EIA 2020 had received over two million objections, comments and suggestions to the draft. A total of 100 environmental groups, organisations and individuals.

New Delhi: Although the environment impact assessment draft notification proposed by the government in 2020 (EIA 2020) that raised concerns from environmentalists has expired because it was not notified in time, experts caution that the authorities have introduced some of the contentious rules separately.

EIA 2020 had received over two million objections, comments and suggestions to the draft. A total of 100 environmental groups, organisations and individuals, who were part of a national campaign to oppose the draft EIA notification, wrote to Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha MPs against the provisions.

The then environment minister, Prakash Javadekar, complained to the Delhi Police over getting multiple emails in his inbox with the subject EIA 2020, following which police sent notices to some youth environment activist groups.

According to guidelines of the environment ministry, the draft EIA 2020, issued in a notification on March 23, 2020, has expired. But, through a slew of other draft notifications, office memorandums and orders, the environment ministry has introduced clauses that mirror those in EIA 2020, experts said.
