NGT forms committee to assess Pune Cantonment Board's response to garbage burning in Hadapsar
The National Green Tribunal in Pune has formed a committee to check the actions taken by the Pune Cantonment Board against illegal garbage burning in Hadapsar. The committee includes members from the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board and Pune Municipal Corporation. This decision follows the tribunal's previous fine of Rs 1 lakh on the Cantonment Board for delays in addressing the garbage burning issue. The tribunal is not satisfied with the board's claims of measures taken to prevent the problem. The committee is tasked with inspecting the site and reporting back within three weeks. The tribunal has requested detailed information on the measures implemented to combat garbage burning and fire incidents.
