NGT Pulls Up State Authorities For Inaction On Polluting Industries In Western UP
The NGT Principal Bench has directed the UP Government to look into the issue of pollution in Kali Nadi, Krishni and Hindon Rivers on a plea that it has resulted in the death of 71 people from cancer, and caused over 47 people to be bed ridden. The Monitoring Committee in its report submitted in February 2019, recommended immediate implementation of the action plans by State authorities of Uttar Pradesh, as per the time lines specified therein. As the matter came up before the NGT Bench in the last hearing, it was observed that a compliance report was filed by the State authorities, but there were major loopholes in the report. With reference to remedial action for treatment of sewage gap in River Hindon, the report showed laches on part of the authorities to establishment of Sewage Treatment Plants. With the aforesaid observations, the Tribunal directed the Chief Secretary, UP to take action against erring officers and ensure further remedial action is taken to ensure supply of clean water to such villages.
