The National Green Tribunal has directed the Haryana government to take action against a mining company accused of environmental violations in the Aravali range.
The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has issued a directive to the Haryana government, mandating it to take corrective measures against a mining company operating in the Aravali hills. The company is alleged to have violated environmental regulations, leading to concerns over ecological damage and pollution.
In its order, the NGT highlighted the need for immediate compliance with environmental norms and called for a thorough investigation into the alleged infractions. The tribunal emphasized that the state authorities must enforce penalties and ensure restoration of affected areas.
The decision follows growing pressure from environmental groups and local communities who have protested against unchecked mining activities in the Aravali region. The Haryana government is expected to respond with a formal action plan within the stipulated timeframe.
This move underscores the NGT’s role in safeguarding India’s natural resources and reinforces the legal framework that holds mining operations accountable for ecological harm.
