NGT Defers Hearing on Proposed Waste Facility in Kullu's Nehru Park Pending High Court Case
The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has deferred the hearing on a petition challenging the proposed Material Recovery Facility (MRF) inside Nehru Park, Sarwari, Kullu, citing a pending case in the Himachal Pradesh High Court. The High Court has ordered a status quo on the site amid objections over the facility's construction in the centrally located park, which had undergone renovation after prior maintenance and garbage issues. A joint committee report was submitted to the NGT, which awaits the High Court's July 30 hearing.
