“The proposed move should be seen in light of the recent Supreme Court order that deems all coal blocks allotted during the coal scam period as illegal because of the arbitrary and mindless manner in which they were allocated. With de-allocation of coal blocks becoming a possibility, the NDA government is now frantically looking at speedy re-allocations and environment and forest clearances. If they override existing constitutional rights, this is the coal scam now being replaced by a tribal right scam,” says Nandikesh Sivalingam, forest campaigner with Greenpeace India.
