www.developmentdebate.in www.developmentdebate.in is a newly started website which focuses on the development and its discontent. Thanks
The discourse of development has largely been dominated by the GDP growth rate, Stock Market performances, corporate led industrialization, big dams,and urbanization and world class cities etc. The negative impacts of such development process has been considered inevitable and the 'cost of progress' which must be paid. But as we all know both the costs and fruits of such progress and corporate le
d growth are shared disproportionately by the various sections of the society. The movements against the displacement, land grab by the corporate, loss of livelihood, loss of any control over local natural resources, environmental destruction, gaining momentum across the country and the globe, have been trying to highlight these injustices to the victims of development. We feel that there is a need to raise those voices from many corners in many ways and there are many efforts and initiatives towards that. This website is a modest effort to contribute towards the same. Our focus is going to be the south Asia region and the efforts will be to provide an one stop resource page, with all the relevant information like legislation and policies, statistics and the important developments. We request you to kindly contribute to the debate. You can send your posts [email protected].

Why Supreme Court barred unregulated soil extraction for linear projects
Written by Jay Mazoomdaar
Updated: April 2, 2024 18:16 IST
The Supreme Court has set aside a notification issued by the Environment Ministry three years ago that exempted extraction of ordinary earth for linear projects, such as road and railways construction, from obtaining Environmental Clearance (EC).
The exemption, offered in March 2020, was challenged before the National Green Tribunal (NGT), which asked the Ministry in October 2020 to review it within three months. As the Ministry dragged its feet, the matter reached the top court, which on March 21 this year struck down the “blanket” and “arbitrary” exemption.
What was the 2020 exemption?
In September 2006, the Environment Ministry had issued a notification under The Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, on activities that would require prior EC. In January 2016, a second notification was issued, exempting certain categories of projects from this requirement.
The third notification of March 2020 added “Extraction or sourcing or borrowing of ordinary earth for the linear projects such as roads, pipelines, etc” to the list of exempted activities.
The Centre argued before the NGT that the exemption was necessary “for the aid of general public”, and would help “the kumhars (potters), farmers, gram panchayats, vanjara,
