NGT Orders Suspension of Brick Kiln and Stone Crusher in Assam's Nalbari Over Environmental Compliance
The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has ordered the JPIS Brick Manufacturing Unit and PASA Stone Crusher Unit in Assam's Nalbari district to halt operations until they obtain all required statutory clearances, including a valid Consent to Operate from the Assam State Pollution Control Board. The tribunal acted after complaints about environmental violations near the Pagladiya riverbed, citing risks to the river ecosystem, biodiversity, public health, and elephant movement. Inspections found neither unit operational, and the tribunal directed authorities to ensure full compliance with environmental norms before permitting operation.
