The National Green Tribunal has pulled up the state of Haryana over its failure to take remedial measures for controlling the sewage overflow on National Highway-19.
The Bench, headed by NGT Chairperson Adarsh Kumar Goel, observed that the state authorities had failed in upholding the citizen’s right to clean environment.
On January 7, 2020, a factual and action taken report was sought by the Court from the District Magistrate, Faridabad and the Haryana State PCB, with reference to the allegation that sewage from Seekri village in Faridabad District in Haryana was overflowing on the service road and on the stretch of Delhi-Agra Highway.
