Draft EIA dangerous, disaster: Rahul

New Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday urged people to protest the new Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) 2020 draft, saying it was “dangerous” and if notified, the long term consequences will be “catastrophic”.
In a Facebook post using the hashtag ‘WithdrawEIA2020’, Gandhi slammed Centre over the EIA, 2020, draft, saying it is not only “disgraceful”, but “dangerous”.
“Not only does it have the potential to reverse many of the hard fought gains that have been won over the years in the battle to protect our environment, it could potentially unleash widespread environmental destruction and mayhem across India,” he said. (PTI)
