In a democracy the voices of those who disagree are key to the survival of a nation, not those that agree because agreement is convenient and rewarding. The economy is a wholly owned subsidiary of the environment. And countries belongs to the young. thequint.com/voices/opinion/…

Besides pushing for domestic coal usage, India is wooing global oil and gas majors and chasing ambitious renewable energy targets. Future energy demand is uncertain. How will India absorb this energy surplus? First of the two-part series on India's obsession with hoarding energy
India is the world’s second-largest coal importer and third-largest oil importer, and a regional refining hub with an installed capacity over 249M tonnes a year. Two new developments have further added to India’s allure. science.thewire.in/environme… | @mrajshekhar via @carboncopyinfo

The #MumbaiCoastalRoad has not only obliterated Mumbai's marine biodiversity, it has also destroyed artisanal fishing grounds, ruined common spaces and historical landmarks. All so that a few people can reach south Mumbai 10 minutes sooner, for now.

Discharge of untreated effluents in rivers, dysfunctional common treatment plants & easily obtained consents from PCBs is a scenario common across industrial estates (IEs). Yet #DraftEIA 2020 has several exemptions to projects in IEs. #WillNeverLearn

We have shared in our piece how OIL received exemption from conducting a public hearing in #DibruSaikhowa more than once. But online availability of information on this environmental clearance of OIL deserves a special mention. So here is a thread on it.

Dehing Patkai Wildlife Sanctuary is known as “Amazon of the East” in Assam.
Last month, Modi Govt gave permission for Coal Mining inside the sanctuary. Raise your voice like you did for Aarey. Save the rainforest for Assam, for India 🇮🇳

These exemptions in #DraftEIA will affect our water, air, health, traditional livelihoods, public spaces & for what? With existing MSMEs struggling to continue w/o any actual & meaningful #covid support from the govt, these wont serve them. Who is @moefcc trying to please here?👇

The Dehing Patkai Wildlife Sanctuary, #Assam is a haven for the Malayan sun #bear, #elephant, #binturong & various cats. Why are illegal coal mining operations receiving govt sanction during the lockdown?! By @PurvaVariyar #evergreen

As an engineer, I fail to understand why India keeps building new dams and coal mines, while the entire world is moving towards solar and other forms of renewable energy.

Love Nature?
Love Culture?
Recognise the link between pandemics and forest destruction?
Concerned by the fast track environmental clearances of mega projects that will harm the environment?
Join the movement to protect the #DibangValley!

Proposed Etalin hydroelectric project is on Dibang river-a high mountain watershed area prone to natural hazards as a result of its unique & complex geological, weather & climatic conditions

Some good news for now. But, not a victory. Deadline may be extended we need to make a really strong effective environment impact assessment tool for India.
Stay put!
