EIA Rules Amendment: Projects Near LAC Won’t Require Green Nod

Recently, the Ministry of Environment, Forests, and Climate Change (MoEF&CC) have notified amendments to the Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) Rules. As per the amendments, the highway projects of strategic and defence importance, which are 100 km from the Line of Control, and Line of Actual Control, among other locations, will not require environmental clearance before construction. For the unversed, the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a process of evaluating the likely environmental impacts of proposed infrastructural projects. This assessment also considers other factors, including human health and socioeconomic impact on the community living in the proposed site. The amendment to the rules was necessary because the Indian side has poor road connectivity with its borders on all of its sides. Due to the inadequate road infrastructure, the Indian forces face difficulty in reaching strategic positions in times of conflict. The recent standoff between the two sides was one of the outcomes of poor road infrastructure in bordering states. In contrast to the Indian side, the Chinese side has not only established villages near the LAC but also established good connectivity channels with the mainland. Following this pattern, the Chinese side has constructed roads to connect the newly established village in Doklam, the 2017 site of the Sino-India border standoff, with the mainland. https://twitter.com/ndtv/status/1549441886930481152
