There was no EIA prepared while the environmental clearance was produced to the composite Lakhwar-Vyasi project in 1986, but as time passed by, the work stopped.
Now the authority has claimed for a separate fresh EIA, a public hearing and forest clearance for the Lakhwar project.
They have also demanded that no dam should be constructed on Yamuna River and the Yamuna basin to the planning commission. Then demand came after the Uttarakhand government wrote to the Planning Commission for funding.
The Delhi Jal Board has considered the importance of getting additional water for the National Capital Region after the environmentalists have demanded a fresh environment impact assessment (EIA) with the Lakhwar (of the Lakhwar-Vyasi) project in Uttarakhand.
