National Green Tribunal (NGT) has dismissed the case it took up suo motu on the grant of forest clearance for the 3000-MW Dibang hydel project without meeting the precondition of declaring a National Park.
The NGT did so after it was informed by Arunachal Pradesh that the local people are not willing to part away their land for the declaration of National Park.
