NGT Directs DPCC to Report on Laboratory Readiness in Ghazipur Landfill Case
The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has directed the Member Secretary of the Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) to appear virtually and report on the status of its laboratory and testing equipment related to groundwater analysis near the Ghazipur landfill. The DPCC acknowledged lacking necessary equipment and has floated a tender to procure it. The tribunal previously ordered groundwater sampling from multiple locations around the landfill, with the Municipal Corporation of Delhi seeking time to prepare relevant documents for the case.
