NGT Allows Establishment of Waste Management Facility in Punjabi Bagh with Conditions

The National Green Tribunal (NGT) declined to halt the establishment of a Fixed Compactor Transfer Station (FCTS) in Punjabi Bagh, ruling no violation of the Central Pollution Control Board's siting criteria. The plea had raised concerns about the facility's proximity to a school, place of worship, and dense population, and alleged conflict with designated land use. The tribunal noted that 80% of construction was complete and emphasized strict compliance with operational guidelines, directing local authorities to monitor and address waste management issues nearby.
