Are the thick legal provisions doing justice to our environment? : An appraisal on Environmental Impact Assessment in Bangladesh

In the era of industrial civilization, industries and business sectors are posing increasing threats to the natural environment and human health, by various activities that have hazardous effect on environment. It becomes a crying need for the government to initiate and implement adequate measures in favor of building a pro environmental economy in Bangladesh. This paper concentrates on the necessity of one of the crucial mechanisms ‘Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)’, to be used as the tonic of resolving the juncture in between nature and industry. The paper also endeavors to knock the urge of due materialization of EIA through proper legal implementation and find the other possible solution. The whole study is purely a doctrinal and non empirical research which has its own limitation. It is hoped that the paper will be enlightening enough to revisit and heighten the need of EIA in industrial sectors of Bangladesh.
