NGT and Solan MC Take Action Over Waste Management Issues in Himachal Pradesh
The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has issued notices to Himachal Pradesh officials and a waste management company over public health concerns linked to a hazardous waste plant in Majra village, Nalagarh. A joint committee will inspect the site and report within a month. Separately, the Solan Municipal Corporation has issued a notice to a Panchkula contractor for failing to scientifically dispose of legacy waste, despite penalties from the State Pollution Control Board. The contractor's delays have led to ongoing environmental and administrative actions.
