New Delhi, November 20
The National Green Tribunal on Wednesday slammed the Delhi government’s awareness activities to tackle noise pollution, saying they were inadequate in terms of quality and quantity.
The green panel said that steps should be properly planned and coordinated and an yearly action plan covering different thematic areas of environmental problems needs to be clearly identified.
A Bench headed by NGT Chairperson Justice Adarsh Kumar Goel also said that penalty for bursting crackers needs to be revised. “The Central Pollution Control Board has suggested that compensation should be 2-3 times for second and third violations accompanied by withdrawal of permission for installation/operation for their equipment,” the Bench said. — PTI
