National Green Tribunal ‘emasculated’ by Modi government, says Jairam Ramesh
Former environment minister Jairam Ramesh criticised the National Green Tribunal, claiming the Modi administration has weakened it. He referenced a study showing that during the first half of 2026, the tribunal failed to grant any favorable rulings to environmental or public‑interest appellants on the merits of their cases. Ramesh described the body as effectively emasculated.
