The Modi Government’s war on environment
The Modi Government is pushing through
reforms that weaken India’s existing environmental laws and threaten the rights
of those who rely on the forests for their livelihoods.

from the recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report

environment and land acquisition laws of India, in order to promote
industrialisation and
ensure high economic growth, allege activists and environmental experts.
