Greenpeace India stares at shutdown

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. In his address to the Greenpeace India staff, Executive Director Samit Aich asked them to prepare for the imminent shutdown of the organisation after 14 years in the country.

“Greenpeace India has one month left to fight for its survival with the threat of an imminent shutdown looming large. The NGO has been left with funds for staff salaries and office costs that will last for just about a month,” a Greenpeace India statement said.
