NGT Restrains Activities at Three Cricket Stadiums Over Groundwater Use Compliance
The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has barred three cricket stadiums—Mumbai's DY Patil, Jaipur's Sawai Mansingh, and Raipur's Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International—from conducting sports activities without its permission due to non-compliance with groundwater use regulations. These stadiums failed to respond to repeated notices from the Central Ground Water Authority (CGWA) concerning the use of groundwater instead of treated sewage water and the lack of rainwater harvesting systems. Other stadiums, including those in Lucknow, Cuttack, and New Delhi, have responded or sought time to comply.
