Adavivaram data center: SEAC has No Jurisdiction

/

The project attracts the General Condition and is Category A and therefore the SEAC has no jurisdiction. Under the General Condition appended to the Schedule of the EIA Notification 2006, a Category B project located within 10 km of the boundary of a Protected Area notified under the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 must be treated as Category A and appraised by the Expert appraisal Committee (EAC) of the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEF&CC) at the Centre. The proponent’s own EMP (page 9) records that the site is 0.86 km from the Kambalakonda Wildlife Sanctuary boundary and 0.45 km from its notified Eco-Sensitive Zone (Sanctuary and ESZ notified vide S.O. 1366(E) dated 28.04.2017).

Representation Against Proposed PTFE Manufacturing Facility by TGVSRAACL

Our Main Concerns
1. We were kept in the dark about dangerous chemicals
During public consultations, the company never told us about GX902, a chemical they now say they will use. We only learned about it after the Ministry asked for additional details. This chemical was never mentioned in the original application we were shown.
When we asked questions about PFOA (a banned toxic chemical), the company said they would not use it. But they did not tell us they would use other similar chemicals that are equally dangerous. This feels like we were deliberately misled.

Kintukuru ‘encounter’ killings of Maoists: HRF submission to Magisterial Inquiry

/

It is the HRF’s considered view that the instant case must be registered as two crimes, that is under Section 109 and Section 103 of the BNS respectively in the Rampachodavaram police station under which jurisdiction the crime has been committed. The first is a crime of Attempt to Murder by the now deceased and the other a crime of Culpable Homicide Amounting to Murder by the police purportedly in self-defence. Therefore, the concerned police personnel have to be put on trial. The burden of establishing a preponderance of probabilities in favour of the exception relating to self-defence to a competent court rests upon the police personnel who have fired causing death. Importantly, the case must be investigated by an agency completely independent of the State police.

HRF Submission at public hearing for the proposed Bulk Drug Park at Nakkapalli in Anakapalli district

/

We submit that the proposed project does not deserve environmental clearance for a number of reasons which we will elucidate below. HRF believes that there are serious social, environmental and health hazards that the proposed project entails. The EIA report is without scientific merit. The process is detrimental to livelihoods and will cause irreversible changes in the ecology of the area.
