The National Green Tribunal (NGT) is a specialized body in India that deals with environmental matters, including pollution control, environmental protection, and the enforcement of environmental laws. It was established in 2010 to resolve disputes related to environmental issues more effectively, providing a platform for citizens and organizations to seek justice for environmental violations.
NGT’s responsibilities include hearing cases related to air and water pollution, hazardous waste management, wildlife protection, and climate change. It also works to ensure the implementation of policies and guidelines related to environmental sustainability. The tribunal plays a crucial role in holding industries, government agencies, and other stakeholders accountable for environmental harm, promoting sustainable development practices across India.
