NGT panel told to submit report on unscientific handling of plastic

The Hindu  

The National Green Tribunal has directed an appointed oversight committee to submit the final report pertaining to the unscientific handling of plastic, by October 31. A Bench headed by NGT Chairperson Justice Adarsh Kumar Goel said, “The oversight committee headed by Justice Pratibha Rani, former judge of the Delhi High Court, may furnish the final report before October 31, setting out its recommendations cumulatively at one place in a tabular form.” The directions came when the green panel was dealing with a matter pertaining to unregulated handling of plastic, including burning of plastic waste that contributed to air pollution. “The tribunal found that action taken against identified polluters was inadequate and gave last opportunity to the Delhi government to take necessary steps in the matter and file further compliance report giving details of action taken month-wise,” the Bench observed while referring to a July 18 order. The Bench said, “The status report may also indicate status of assessment and recovery of compensation on polluter pays principle for the industries which caused the pollution.” The directions came when the Delhi government informed the tribunal that following a survey conducted on July 27, notices were issued to 1,345 units.
