NGT Orders Detailed Report on Pollution Compensation Recovery from Delhi Units
The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has directed the Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) to submit a detailed report within four weeks on Environmental Damage Compensation (EDC) recovery from seven industrial units operating without mandatory environmental consents and pollution-control devices. The NGT criticized the DPCC's previous status report for lacking comprehensive details such as closure orders, compensation notices, and recovery dates. While one unit has paid the EDC, others have pending dues, with some cases dating back several years. The matter will be reviewed again on December 7.
