Hindustan Times, Gurgaon, Mar,
2017 : The National Green Tribunal (NGT) this week will hear a plea over
the encroachment and filling up of a natural stormwater drain — the Badshahpur
Nallah — in Gurgaon. Residents alleged that the encroachment is a blatant
violation of the provisions of the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution)
Act, 1974 and Environment (Protection) Act, 1986. A Gurgaon-based NGO, Haryali
Welfare Society, which works to protect the environment, and two residents of
Valley View Estate, Vaishali Rana Chandra and Sharmila Kaushik, filed the
petition in NGT on Saturday.
