The Hindu, New Delhi, Feb 2017: Noting that proper functioning of
waste-to-energy plant would serve public interest, which must prevail over
“little inconvenience”, the National Green Tribunal has advised citizens to
overcome “mental block” that there cannot be a compost yard in the
neighbourhood. The tribunal said that efforts should be made to protect the
environment which is the fundamental duty of citizens and other stakeholders and
the fundamental right to have a decent and clean environment as mandated under
the Constitution can be achieved by protecting the environment and not by
opposing the plant’s operation.
