NGT Fines Bihar Municipalities

The National Green Tribunal's (NGT) recent order to the Bihar State Pollution Control Board (BSPCB) marks a significant step towards addressing the issue of pollution in the Ganga river. The directive instructs the BSPCB to impose environmental penalties on urban local bodies that release polluted water into the river through storm water drains. This decision is expected to have a positive impact on the river's water quality. The NGT's move is part of a broader effort to protect the environment and preserve India's natural resources.
