HYDERABAD: Scientists For People (SFP), a non-profit group of scientists fighting for environmental rights, has alleged that the consultant of Yadadri Thermal Power Station at Damaracherla of Nalgonda district indulged in “deception through omission” by not including any impacts in the third Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report, and tried to portray the project as a “Clean Development Mechanism” based on faulty emission calculations.
“The report is full of scientific dishonesty,” the SFP observed, demanding the government ensure steps to completely revise the 829-page EIA report, and defer the public hearing scheduled for February 20. The SFP pointed out that the first EIA report was cancelled by an expert committee and the second by the National Green Tribunal for alleged plagiarism.
