NGT Reviews Noida Water Bodies, Seeks Detailed Report on Status and Encroachments
The National Green Tribunal (NGT) is overseeing the status and restoration of water bodies in Noida, Uttar Pradesh. The Noida authority reported that over half of the 67 ponds under its jurisdiction are beyond recovery due to urban development, encroachments, and infrastructure. While 10 ponds have been rejuvenated, many are lost or encroached upon. The authority has developed compensatory wetlands covering a larger area. The NGT has directed the Gautam Buddha Nagar district magistrate to submit a detailed fresh report on all water bodies, including their jurisdiction, size, encroachments, and actions taken, with further hearings scheduled for September.
