A top executive of Greenpeace India has resigned following an internal review by the NGO of its handling of two prior sexual harassment cases.

Greenpeace is determined to keep operating in India although the government has frozen its bank accounts, leaving it with no funds to pay hundreds of staff members, its country head said on Thursday.

The government has barred Greenpeace India from receiving foreign funds and frozen seven accounts of the environmental group, which has in recent months refuted allegations that it is running campaigns that are damaging the economy.

Delhi airport authorities barred a Greenpeace India staff member on Sunday from flying out of India despite holding a valid visa, a move the campaign group described as "bullying" by the government.
