Currently,  it  is  showing  a downtrend as compared to previous year i.e. 2017-18.

(d)to(f): The grant of Forest and Environment clearances comes under the purview of  Ministry  of  Environment,  Forest  and  Climate  Change.  The  details  of  noncompliance  of  environment  and  forest  laws  are  not  maintained  in  the  Ministry  of Mines.

However, Pakistan has not acknowledged the presence of any Indian Prisoner of War/missing Indian defence personnel in its custody, so far.

Besides,   as   per   available   information,   there   are   64   Indian   and believed-to-be Indian civilian prisoners and 209 Indian and believed-to-be Indian   fishermen   in   Pakistan's   custody .

As a result of persistent efforts, the Government has secured the release and repatriation of 2,110 Indian prisoners, including fishermen, from Pakistan's custody since 2014. This includes   release   and   repatriation   of   362   Indian   prisoners,   including fishermen, this year, so far.

Pakistan responded positively  on  7   March   2018.
