New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Tuesday expressed its anguish at the “bureaucratic attitude” that has left the functioning of several tribunals including the National Green Tribunal (NGT) and Law Commission in a “pathetic” state of affairs.

While deliberating on various issues relating to the NGT, the bench comprising justices G S Singhvi and S J Mukhopadhaya referred to the environmental degradation in Meghalaya and said there has been large-scale destruction of hills.

“Thousands of rock breakers are engaged there. Hills have become nude,” the bench said. (PTI)
