MOEF RTI response received from MOEF informs a) IOA won the bid in Nov 2003. It approached MOEF for EC in October 2006 b) MOEF issued 4 Clearance letters (14.12.06; 22.1.07; 29.3.07 and 2.4.07) c) Expert Appraisal Committee (EAC) expressed serious environmental concerns on the site and recommended change of site on 3.11.2006 d) First Clearance letter (EC) provided for raising only temporary ‘dismantable’ structures so that river bed could be restored to the river e) DDA served ultimatums on MOEF on three occasions 16 Jan 07, 7 March 07 and 2 April 07. f) If Akshardham could be built then why not Games Village, said DDA. g) MOEF found serious shortcomings in the CWPRS report of Feb 2007 h) 2 nd and 3 rd clearance letters on 22 Jan and 29 March 07 provided for DDA to plan for permanent or temporary structures subject to….. i) 4 th clearance letter on 2 April 07 provided for DDA to construct permanent or temporary structures subject to…… Clearly the DDA ‘extracted’ the clearance from MOEF not on merit but persuasions and ultimatums (Mockery of EIA process at MOEF)

There are still three years to go to the Games in Oct 2010.
