Ganga Cleaning: NGT Rejects Bihar Govt's Plea Seeking Review of Penalty Imposed On It - (23 Jul 2019)

ENVIRONMENT

National Green Tribunal has rejected a plea to review its order imposing a fine of Rs 25 lakh on the Bihar Government for inaction over continued damage to the river Ganga. The Tribunal on May 29 had levied the penalty on Bihar, noting that there is practically no progress in cleaning the Ganga as not a single sewage infrastructure project has been completed.
