NGT left with 33% of its sanctioned strength: Reports

The National Green Tribunal is left with 33% of its sanctioned strength after its Chairman Justice Swatanter Kumar retired on Tuesday, reports said. Last week, the Supreme Court rejected the tribunal's plea to extend services for retiring members. Despite its depleting strength, the NGT has settled almost 20,000 of the 23,000 cases filed with it since its establishment in 2010.
