A clean environment is a
basic right of citizens and the plea of non-availability of funds cannot be an
excuse for not ensuring it, the National Green Tribunal (NGT) has said while
rapping the Uttarakhand government over waste disposal dump yards illegally set
up on the bank of the Khoh river in Kotdwar.
A bench headed by NGT
Chairperson Justice Adarsh Kumar Goel said in view of the repeated failures of
the state, a case is made out for taking coercive action against its senior
officers.
