Hi @airindiain I am forced to get in touch here- I’ve been trying to get the refund of international tickets I cancelled in April. I’ve emailed and called customer service many times but to no avail. Pls get in touch. This is terrible service.

Incredible report on the deliberate remaking of protected forests for pvt plantations since 2015. Forests are up for sale, rights of indig peoples eroded. And! "For the pvt sector, the plantations they raise will be eligible to earn Green Credits that can be traded for profit.

Modi gov't worked for years to open forests for private plantation businesses. It ignored internal voices concerned about tribal rights. Now the law gives it the discretion -- to lease away forests as it wishes. @tapasya_umm & @nit_set write.
