NGT seeks Centre’s response on petition challenging amended Ganga protection rules
The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has sought a response from the Centre regarding a petition challenging recent amendments to the Ganga protection rules. A bench headed by NGT Chairperson Justice Prakash Shrivastava and expert member Afroz Ahmad took note of a notification issued earlier this month that allegedly removed crucial provisions for Ganga conservation. The petition raises concerns over dilution of environmental safeguards for the river. This development is significant for exams as it involves judicial oversight of environmental governance, the role of NGT under the NGT Act, 2010, and the Namami Gange programme.
