CUTTACK: The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has disposed of the case on diversion of Kurdabahali nullah (water channel) by Jindal Steel and Power Limited (JSPL) in Angul district, after the state authorities submitted an affidavit on compliance of NGT's directions.
After an expert committee constituted by the NGT reported on November 26, 2021, that by diverting the nullah's course, the JSPL had created a nearly 3.7 km alternate channel for free flow of water into the Parang minor irrigation project, the tribunal endorsed it. However, the NGT had issued a slew of orders to supplement the diversion.
