The crew of the Rainbow Warrior, the flagship of the environmental watchdog, Greenpeace, has run into trouble with Gujarat and Mumbai authorities.

Its initiative to highlight marine pollution in Alang, Gujarat, the site of the world's largest ship-breaking yard, resulted in the Rainbow Warrior not being allowed to dock in Mumbai for eight days. And when they were allowed to dock, the crew was not allowed to disembark.
