Himanshu Thakkar of South Asia Network on Rivers, Dams and People (SANDRP) has been writing to environment minister Jairam Ramesh on the issue of the environmental impact assessment exemption for some dam and river projects. Thakkar counters the criteria for the exemptions saying that the locals are forced to put up with the projects without protest, bound by the ministry's oversight.
