NGT Reviews Bhopal Reservoir Survey Payment Dispute and Kalagram Project Construction Issues
In Bhopal, disputes and environmental concerns are delaying progress on projects related to the Bhoj Wetland. A payment disagreement of Rs 7.88 lakh has stalled the full handover of digital survey data for Kerwa and Kaliasot reservoirs, delaying encroachment assessments by an NGT-appointed committee. Separately, the Rs 15.78 crore Kalagram project near Bharat Bhavan faces National Green Tribunal scrutiny over alleged construction within the wetland's 50-metre no-construction buffer zone, with hearings ongoing and formalities pending completion.
