Shocking Breach: Illegal Police Camp in Assam’s Pristine Geleky Forest Exposed by Centre to NGT

The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has initiated a thorough investigation into a contentious infrastructure project in Assam. A committee composed of senior officials from various ministries conducted a site visit on September 27 and is anticipated to deliver its report by the end of October. This investigation follows the Assam government’s assertion that the construction project is crucial for protecting the forest from encroachment, suggesting its importance for conservation and management efforts. However, the environment ministry has yet to provide the necessary ex post facto clearance, indicating that the project remains under thorough review. The situation underscores a tension between regional development aims and adherence to environmental regulatory frameworks, with national implications for forest management policies. As the deadline for the committee’s findings approaches, stakeholders await conclusions that could impact future forest conservation strategies and legal precedents in India.
