Do we want to risk our children’s health by diluting EIA? Expansion of existing Waste to Energy plants do not need public consultation. S26 of the EIA draft 2020 needs to be scrapped @PMOIndia @moefcc @PrakashJavdekar

Imagine having these massive waste to energy plants right in your backyard or 0 km from protected area putting both people and wild animals at risk. Do we want to risk our children’s health by diluting EIA?

Mixed Waste to Energy incineration plants are capable of belching out carcinogenic compounds that are hazardous to public health.

Having a plant in your backyard like in Okhla (Delhi) & Chikamangala (BLR) is made easy with dilution of env protection rules. We don't want cancer to reside in our backyard strengthen or scrap EIA 2020

No more toxic industries like Waste to Energy without Public Consultation. Burning mixed waste in an incineration plant (WTE) releases dioxins & furans that cause cancer, damage nervous & endocrine system

Do not poison or pollute water and do not harm or cut the trees (Yajur Veda). Section19 of EIA draft has diluted the validity period of river valley projects from 10 Years to 15 Years.

Why allow such large plants within 5 km of wildlife sanctuaries? No answer. If a study done, it should have been in public. Dilution is a result of demands made by the industry.

Very few coke ovens even in the Tata group are able to meet standards. Failure means exposing the communities surrounding such plants to enhanced cancer rates. So why relaxation?

Coke ovens bigger than 2.5 lakh tonnes/annum fell in category A as per EIA2006 @moefcc has increased it to 8 lakh tonnes/annum. These plants can be in 5 km of Protected Areas &Ecozones

@moefcc must provide the reasons or grounds why it desires to dilute the provisions of the EIA 2006 notification. None of the reasons are available anywhere in public domain

EIA draft is unleashing the climate crisis. More than 1 lakh trees are already up for getting auctioned to death in Odisha’s Talabira coal project

EIA draft clears highly polluting industries like coal mining for up to 50 yrs & asks ALL industries to report environmental compliance by themselves
@moefcc @PMOIndia

Risk Assessment MUST be added in EIA. This shall be publicly made available prior to public hearing providing information related to the kind of chemical pollutants that could be leaching through water & air
