New Delhi, July 6

National Green Tribunal (NGT) Chairperson Justice Adarsh Kumar Goel retired on Thursday after a five-year stint. In its statement, the NGT said during his tenure starting July 6, 2018, a total of 16,042 cases were disposed of. Of these, 8,419 were settled by the Justice Goel-led Benches. Justice Goel is also credited with taking up cases on NGT’s unmanned Benches.

Justice Goel initiated a special drive to take up more than five-year-old cases or other cases of complex nature. These were heard and disposed of by a special Bench comprising the Chairperson and vice-chairperson.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
