The National Green Tribunal has given no objection to the installation of a lighthouse in the greenway, adjacent to the Yamuna flood plains, for additional surveillance and security of the flood plains.
The bench of Justice Adarsh Kumar Goel in an order passed on May 19, 2023, stated, "We are of the view that on principle there can be no objection to the proposal if it's approved by the High-Level Committee (HLC) and is meant for protection of flood plain zone."
"It is within the purview of permissible activity in terms of para 80 of the order of this Tribunal dated 13.1.2015 and River Ganga (Rejuvenation, Protection and Management) Authorities Order, 2016," he added.
