The Supreme Court has stayed an order of the National Green Tribunal (NGT) that imposed an environmental compensation of over Rs 15 crore on Moon Beverages, a key bottler in north India for beverage giant Coca-Cola.

A Bench also issued a notice to a Ghaziabad resident, on whose plea the NGT had passed the order. Moon Beverages Ltd, located at Greater Noida, approached the SC after the NGT had imposed an environmental compensation of Rs 1.85 crore on the company and Rs 13.24 crore on its Sahibabad unit, along with Rs 9.71 crore on Varun Beverages Ltd’s Greater Noida unit.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
