The Union Environment Ministry on Friday set up a new Central Empowered Committee, replacing an ad hoc expert panel with the same name which assisted the Supreme Court in matters of forest and environment issues.

MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT SETS UP NEW PANEL REPLACING SC'S CENTRAL EMPOWERED COMMITTEE

The CEC, initially established by the supreme court in 2002, served as a watchdog for issues pertaining to the environmental conservation & compliance.

Over the years, the committee played an essential role in shaping India's environmental policy and governance landscape.

While its restructuring aims to make it more efficient, questions remain about its independence under the complete control of the government.

This development comes shortly after the passage of the Forest Conservation (Amendment) Bill, 2023, which critics argue weakens existing safeguards in the Indian forest law, potentially facilitating construction projects in ecologically sensitive regions.
