New Delhi [India], October 19 (ANI): On the occasion of National Green Tribunal (NGT) foundation day, its chairman Justice Prakash Shrivastava said, India is the first developing nation and the third country, after Australia and New Zealand, to have established a specialized tribunal for environmental issues.
The National Green Tribunal (NGT), enacted under the National Green Tribunal Act of 2010, began its mission on October 18, 2010, to adjudicate environmental cases and enforce regulations, said Justice Shrivastava.
Over the years, the NGT has made significant contributions to environmental governance, including protecting forests, curbing illegal mining, and tackling air and water pollution. It has played a crucial role in raising public awareness and ensuring compliance with environmental laws, addressing challenges such as river pollution and waste management, he added.
As global environmental degradation intensifies, the NGT remains committed to upholding citizens’ rights to a clean and healthy environment. This commitment is underscored by the current air pollution crisis in Delhi, where the Air Quality Index has recently soared to alarming levels, prompting urgent action and awareness among citizens.
On Friday, the foundation day ceremony took place honoring all former Chairpersons, Judicial Members, and Expert Members of the National Green Tribunal. The event recognised their invaluable contributions to environmental governance in India.
Former NGT Chairpersons Justices Swatantra Kumar and Adarsh Kumar Goel also attended the event.
The National Green Tribunal (NGT) was established on October 18, 2010, under the National Green Tribunal Act, 2010, to ensure the effective and swift resolution of cases related to environmental protection, forest conservation, and the management of natural resources. It also addresses the enforcement of legal rights concerning the environment and provides relief and compensation for damages to individuals and property.
As a specialised body, the NGT is equipped to manage complex environmental disputes that involve multiple disciplines. Unlike traditional courts, the Tribunal is not bound by the Civil Procedure Code of 1908 but operates according to principles of natural justice. (ANI)
