The National Green Tribunal has directed the Haryana Pollution Control Board to update its report concerning a compensation amount of Rs 5.39 crore.
The National Green Tribunal (NGT) issued an order directing the Haryana Pollution Control Board (PCB) to revise its report on a compensation package worth Rs 5.39 crore. The directive comes as part of the tribunal’s oversight of environmental compliance and remediation measures in the state. The PCB has been instructed to incorporate the required updates and submit the revised document to the NGT within the stipulated timeframe. Officials said the updated report will detail the basis for the compensation and the steps planned for its disbursement. The order underscores the NGT’s role in ensuring that state agencies adhere to environmental compensation guidelines.
The Haryana PCB, responsible for monitoring pollution control and enforcing environmental standards, must now align its findings with the tribunal’s expectations. While the specific reasons for the compensation were not disclosed in the order, such payments typically arise from violations that cause ecological damage or affect public health. The NGT’s intervention signals heightened scrutiny of state-level environmental governance.
Stakeholders are awaiting the revised report, which will be examined by the tribunal to determine compliance and any further action required. The development highlights the continuing judicial oversight of environmental remediation efforts across India.
