NGT gives conditional nod to Sri Sri event, imposes Rs 5 cr fine on AOL
New Delhi: After a lot of fiddling around, the National Green Tribunal has finally given its green signal to the World Culture Festival being organised on the banks of Yamuna River by the Art of Living Foundation of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. Along with its approval for the much-hyped event, it has also imposed heavy fines on several bodies including the Art of Living itself. The NGT has imposed a penalty of Rs 5 crore upon Sri Sri Ravi Shankar’s foundation as environment compensation which has to be deposited before the start of the programme. On the other hand, a fine of Rs 1 lakh and Rs 5 lakh have been imposed upon Delhi Pollution Control Committee and DDA respectively for not discharging statutory functions.
