THE Society for Development of Environmental Laws, an NGO, has called for the need to have district-level environment enforcement tribunals or courts that would be manned by environmental experts including scientists, technical experts and judicial members.

The NGO, headed by the former Kerala High Court judge, Mr Justice T.L.V. Iyer, has also called for the "urgent need to curb import of waste from the industrialised western countries into India in the garb of recycling".

"We have a constitution. We have laws. But we are not able to implement them. Unfortunately, environmental tribunals have not been set up," said Mr Dilip Biswas, former Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) Chairman, at a seminar.
