HC intervenes, stays NGT bench tranfer

While NGOs and opposition parties have condemned it, the Bombay high court at Goa has taken a sue motto cognizance and has stayed the decision taken by the ministry of environment and forest. 

The government shifted the Goa jurisdiction of the NGT from Pune to Delhi.

This has drawn flak from NGO’s who said that this looked as if Goa was being treated like a foreign Colony by the government.

The High Court has kept the next hearing on this issue for the 5^th of September.

The Congress too condemned this move of the government.
