This third complaint regarding the Ramky project was filed with the CAO on October 14, 2007, signed by residents of the village of Gummidipoondi, Southern India, and the Corporate Accountability Desk in Mumbai. The complaint relates to the operations of an integrated hazardous waste treatment facility operated by the Ramky Group in the SIPCOT Industrial Area near Gummidipoondi village.  Specific concerns raised in the complaint are:

• The local community has not given statutory permissions to the company to proceed – the local Panchayat has issued resolutions against the project;
• The environmental permitting process was flawed – an incomplete EIA was presented at public hearings;
• As a result, the complainants believe that the project violates municipal laws and IFC regulations.
