There are cities like Chicago a heavily industrialized city which polluted the earth for almost a century now.

Then there are other heavily industrialized cities in Europe which are doing harm to ozone layer for decades.

The trend is that a developing nation will emit pollution during industrialization and then with time pollution goes down. Happened in the case of Germany and other countries. < there is a scientific term and analysis which I forgot>

But these NGO's funded by west try to arm twist India and try to control the Govt. Decisions. GOI should come up with good environment policy keeping in mind the chinese experience and uncontrollable air pollution in their cities.

MHA suspends Greenpeace India's registration

The Union Home Ministry on Thursday suspended the registration of Greenpeace India under the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) following serious allegations of its involvement in encouraging “anti-development” campaigns across the country.

The organisation's all seven bank accounts in IDBI Bank, ICICI Bank and Yes Bank have been frozen with immediate effect. The order suspending the NGO's FCRA registration has been issued to the Chief Functionary, Greenpeace India Society, Chennai.

The NGO has also been served a show-cause notice asking why its registration should not be cancelled. Security agencies, in their reports to the MHA, had recommended cancellation of its FCRA registration, terming Greenpeace India a threat to national economic security.

Stating that foreign contributions received by Greenpeace India has prejudicially affected the public and the economic interest of the country in violation of the Section 12 (4)(f)(iii) and Section 12(4)(f)(ii) of the FCRA, the government said it also amounted to violation of the conditions of grant of registration certificate.

Accordingly, the Central government has suspended the registration of the organisation, including its branches and units, under the FCRA, for a period of 180 days beginning Thursday. The organisation can make a representation in this regard within 30 days.

Observing that Greenpeace was adversely impacting the national interest and many of its activities could be prejudicial to public interest, the Home Ministry has also taken note of the United Kingdom's interest in Greenpeace India operations. This despite the fact that its main funding agency — Greenpeace International's main offices are located in the Netherlands and Germany.

“The UK Parliament had invited Greenpeace India to “testify” against the Indian government in a formal hearing, A UK-based television channel had also sought to internationalise related issues last year,” said an MHA official.

Also, government agencies found that in the past couple of years, several UK nationals, including cyber experts and activists, had visited the NGO's offices in India allegedly to help it organise protest activities.

In this light, the government has taken exception to Greenpeace India's participation at the Istanbul Coal Strategy Conference-2012. “At the Istanbul Conference, US-based funding agencies projected India as the primary target for thermal power plant activism,” said the official, alleging that five Greenpeace activists had participated in the conference.

The official said sponsored by US-based Climate Works Foundation (CWF) and World Resources Institute, the Conference had identified 999 thermal power plant sites in the world, of which about 50 per cent were in India, and had resolved to focus on the Singrauli region in India.

CWF, which was recently put on MHA's watch list, had since then donated Rs.1.4 crore to Greenpeace India. “As follow-up, Greenpeace came up with a three-pronged strategy: to create a network of anti-coal protest movements, target coal block allocations with regulators and in courts/tribunals; and campaign among domestic/foreign investors against Coal India Limited,” the official alleged.

Really? Do you even know abut their money laundering activities and tax avoidance that runs into crores? Or should this foreign organization be allowed to continue with its illegal activities?

This foreign funded organization has been set up to put a spanner in the works to prevent Indian development activities. Who want's a competitor? Certainly not the West.

They should be thrown out of the country lock stock and barrel.

And the same NGOs called Green Peace are also attacking the west on Shale drilling. I don't think all NGOs are good but I don't think they are entirely evil either. Explain to me this- when Unilever was converting Ooty into a mercury dumping ground no government came to protect it. It was Greenpeace that took the initiative and saw it through.
You need to have a balance when you look at things. Corporations are not 'unmitigated good' and war against the likes of Monsanto are absolutely essential. WHo is going to fight the real issues then?
Modi knows only one thing 'any @$$hole that stands against me, I will screw him. There is a country and it's people at stake here.
