I have a copy of the said proceedings downloaded from the MEFCC website which showed that Shri Chaudhary took part in the EAC proceedings. On the face of it, it looked as though the said EAC was “reconstituted” merely to provide direct representation for the Adani Green Energy company, which has heavy stakes in the clearance of pumped storage projects. This is evident from the following tabulated list of pumped storage projects in the hands of Adani Green Energy which will come up for clearance before the above-cited EAC. Whoever has done this has thus committed an outright contempt to the Environment Protection Act, apparently with a highly dubious intent. I am circulating this letter widely for the public to discuss and debate the issue, as it has far-reaching public interest implications.
