Clarity on environmental issues sought

Staff Reporter

Bangalore: The Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) Notification 2006 and the process of clearance for various projects that are assessed under the notification should be discussed in the State legislatures, B.K. Chandrashekhar, Chairman, Karnataka Legislative Council suggested here on Monday.

Speaking after releasing the publication "Green Tapism: a Review of the Environmental Impact Assessment Notification-2006" brought out by Environment Support Group here, Prof. Chandrashekhar said clarity on issues such as environmental impact is not forthcoming from the Government and whenever such a notification or legislation is introduced the bias is always towards facilitation of industry and investment.

"Even after clearance has been given to projects, the monitoring of the projects has been hopelessly inadequate. The problem lies in the implementation of the legislation," he added.
