Sno.	EDS Letter	Remarks	Date of EDS
1.	NA	Please inform/clarify the following:- - Last public hearing dated 3/7/2015 is for different scope of the project. Moreover, the same is more than three years old and thus not acceptable as per the extant norms/guidelines in this regard. - As stated in column 7(a) of Form-2, public hearing for the proposed project was never exempted by the Ministry. Your version is factually incorrect. - Dehing Patkai WLS being within 10 km from the project site, status of wildlife clearance from the Standing Committee of NBWL. - Covering letter dated 27/6/2018 is too old.	23 Feb 2019
