I wonder if not only the EIA study was cooked, even employees at the banks and state gvt officials are involved in the fiasco. Moreover it is only a lease of the land, not ownership. I wonder how the bank valuation study was done allowing the mortgage. LAFARGE should be more careful treading on thin ice with Indian Babudom. These MNCs are yet to understand the fabric of India. They think developing countries are their dumpground. Regulation is easy to bypass. But they may be wrong in understanding how India works. They may just be surprised. Just last month I read a an article on this project praising LAFARGE in achieveing consensus in this sensitive project across 2 countries from India and Bangladesh. They have built the largest conveyor to transport limestone from India to Bangaldesh. Yet even if they fail and project is closed down, they have enthusiastic investors at the world stock exchanges, who keep fuelling these companies' Quixotic adventures!!
