Constitutional violations in amended Forest (Conservation and Augmentation) Act, say experts

Amendments to the Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980, which recently became the law, violate several Constitutional provisions, according to experts. The Rajya Sabha enacted the Van (Sanrakshan Evam Samvardhan) Adhiniyam, 1980 — translating to Forest (Conservation and Augmentation) Act — on August 4, 2023 as a law.
