NEW DELHI: The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has ordered the Punjab Government to deposit the fine amount of Rs 50 crore as environmental compensation for polluting Sutlej and Beas due to uncontrolled industrial discharge.
The bench clubbed some similar cases including the case regarding the death of fishes due to untreated discharge from sugar industries in May this year. It asked the state government to recover the fine from industries in two weeks.
Nagendra Benipal, PPCB counsel said, “Earlier, a committee found that the discharge was not being treated as treatment plants were non-functioning.”
