Explainer: Orders down the drain, Haryana pollution watchdog in green tribunal’s firing line
The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has issued notices to the Member Secretaries of the Haryana State Pollution Control Board (HSPCB) and the Haryana Water Resources Authority (HWRA) for failing to submit compliance reports regarding the discharge of untreated industrial effluent in Panipat. The tribunal observed that neither authority had submitted any report in connection with its earlier directives, despite clear orders to do so within a fixed timeframe.
