Haryana Reports Pending Pollution Dues and Waste Processing Gaps to NGT

The Haryana State Pollution Control Board (HSPCB) reported to the National Green Tribunal (NGT) significant environmental challenges, including ₹39.39 crore pending pollution compensation from Ready-Mix Concrete (RMC) plants and a daily unprocessed waste gap of 3,055 tonnes across the state. Gurugram leads in both unpaid compensation and unprocessed waste. While some recovery and waste processing efforts are underway, funds recovered have yet to be used for environmental restoration, and waste accumulation persists in several districts.
