Watch | What is EIA and why is India's new EIA draft problematic? Ms. Karat has demanded that the draft notification be withdrawn and redrafted after due consultations. “The draft notification is in keeping with the pro-business agenda of the Central government in the name of development. People’s interests or concerns of protection of environment are not the concern of Draft EIA 2020. Unfortunately in several cases in the recent past this has proved to be the case,” Ms. Karat wrote.
