MOEF<br />

RTI response received from MOEF informs<br />

a) IOA won the bid in Nov 2003. It approached MOEF for EC in October 2006<br />

b) MOEF issued 4 Clearance letters (14.12.06; 22.1.07; 29.3.07 and 2.4.07)<br />

c) Expert Appraisal Committee (EAC) expressed serious environmental<br />

concerns on the site and recommended change of site on 3.11.2006<br />

d) First Clearance letter (EC) provided for raising only temporary ‘dismantable’<br />

structures so that river bed could be restored to the river<br />

e) DDA served ultimatums on MOEF on three occasions 16 Jan 07, 7 March 07<br />

and 2 April 07.<br />

f) If Akshardham could be built then why not Games Village, said DDA.<br />

g) MOEF found serious shortcomings in the CWPRS report of Feb 2007<br />

h) 2 nd and 3 rd clearance letters on 22 Jan and 29 March 07 provided for DDA to<br />

plan for permanent or temporary structures subject to…..<br />

i) 4 th clearance letter on 2 April 07 provided for DDA to construct permanent or<br />

temporary structures subject to……<br />

Clearly the DDA ‘extracted’ the clearance from MOEF not on merit but<br />

persuasions and ultimatums (Mockery of EIA process at MOEF)
