Following a plea alleging redirection of sewer waste into canals in Noida, the National Green Tribunal has directed the New Okhla Industrial Development Authority to submit a report on the dumping of waste.
A Bench headed by NGT Chairperson Justice Adarsh Kumar Goel directed Noida and the Uttar Pradesh Pollution Control Board to furnish a joint report on the matter. “The UPPCB will be the nodal agency for coordination and compliance of this direction. The report may be furnished by the UPPCB to this tribunal,” the Bench said. The plea sought directions against disposal of waste into the irrigation canal around villages near Sector 137.
