Dear friends,

Attached is a letter which is to the jurors of the Golden Peacock Award  against the selection of Jindal Steel and Power Limited for an environmental award. The award comes soon after both Ministry of Environment and Chhatisgarh government have taken action against the company for environmental violations. I am not attaching the annexures as that makes it very bulky. If you remember last year the award was announced for Vedanta which after protest was withheld.

Pl. do send in your endorsements with name, affiliation (if any) and city/town. PLease send them in by tomorrow night, ie 25th July 2010. We hope to send these off to secretariat by monday morning. If you can sound off media persons on this pl. do so.
