Govt has sent clear message; it doesn't prioritise environment: Priya Pillai

May 05, 2015 20:09

"Govt has not only blocked our foreign accounts but our domestic accounts as well," Greenpeace activist Priya Pillai said on Tuesday.

"We are virtually shutting down as we cannot access any of the money donated by our Indian supporters," Pillai added.

"It's not just a question of livelihood of 340 employees, Govt has sent a clear message, that it doesn't prioritise environment."

Greenpeace India on Tuesday said it was staring at an "imminent" shutdown within a month in the absence of funds for staff salaries and accused the government of "strangulating" it by stealth after the freezing of its funds.
