Environmentalists say most members nominated to regulatory bodies are ineligible
Becoming a part of regulatory bodies like
State Environment Assessment Committee (SEAC) and
State Environment Impact Assessment Authority (
SEIAA) requires a person to be highly qualified and an expert in the particular field.
However, the latest nomination to the bodies doesn’t seem to be meeting their standards. The environmentalists and social activists allege that proper norms were not followed while new members were recently nominated to the regulatory bodies. According to the activists, many of the nominees are either underqualified or have conflicts of interest.
