Greenpeace India and villagers gather on the fringes of the Mahan forest during a protest against a coal mining project in Singrauli district.Greenpeace India's all seven bank accounts have been frozen with immediate effect. The Central government has suspended the registration of the organisation, including its branches and units for six months beginning Thursday. The order comes against the backdrop of government reports raising concerns that the United Kingdom has been showing interest in the organisation's India operations. --Devesh Pandey, The Hindu, 10 April 2015 The Indian government has frozen seven bank accounts belonging to Greenpeace's India arm and suspended the environmental group's foreign-funding license for allegedly violating rules governing overseas currency transfers. It is the latest move to block activities of nonprofits that some officials regard as anti-development. --Joana Sugden, The Wall Street Journal, 9 April 2015https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics8_greenpeace-india.jpg
