Environment ministry sets up new panel replacing SC's Central Empowered Committee

IndiaTimes Friday, 8 September 2023
The Union Environment Ministry in India has replaced an ad hoc expert panel with a new Central Empowered Committee (CEC) to oversee environmental and forest issues. The CEC, which has played a key role in shaping India's environmental policy, will now be appointed by the government, raising concerns about its independence. Critics argue that this change concentrates excessive power within the government and removes the balanced approach previously provided by NGO representatives.
