NGT directs verification of continuing 'illegal' construction in Greater Noida
The National Green Tribunal (NGT) ordered the Uttar Pradesh Pollution Control Board (UPPCB) to verify ongoing illegal construction in Greater Noida despite closure orders for environmental violations. The NGT's directive follows a petition from BJP leader Rajendra Tyagi, highlighting five projects allegedly continuing work without necessary approvals. The UPPCB must report back within four weeks, with the next hearing scheduled for September 24.
