Who is named as the Chairperson of the National Green Tribunal in the release on its international conference of September 2026?
- A.Justice Prakash Shrivastava
- B.Justice B.V. Nagarathna
- C.Tushar Mehta
- D.Manohar Lal
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Justice Prakash Shrivastava. The release identifies him as the Chairperson of the NGT. In his valedictory address he said the two days of discussion had shown the need to move beyond identifying environmental problems to building laws, institutions and partnerships able to respond to them, and that climate action must be inclusive and equitable.
The other three all spoke at the same session but hold different offices. Justice B.V. Nagarathna is a Judge of the Supreme Court of India. Tushar Mehta is the Solicitor General of India. Manohar Lal is the Union Minister for Housing and Urban Affairs and Power, who released the souvenir Harit Nyayam. That rules out options B, C and D. When several dignitaries appear in one release, examiners often swap their designations, so match each name to its post.
