There is anger and rage amongst the young GenZ against many proposed amendments in the circulated Environment Impact Assessment 2020 draft. The draft notification invites objections and suggestions from the public. The procedure of public consultation is laid down in the draft notification itself. In 1994, the Ministry of Environment & Forests & Climate Change (MoEF&CC) issued the first EIA Notification. In 2006, a comprehensive EIA procedure was notified. From 1994 to 2019 it was tinkered by way of amendments many a time to suit a given situation. Amendments are necessary to meet the exigencies at the time as they arise.
