NGT reprimands HMDA, RR Collector for non-compliance

The National Green Tribunal has, through a recent order, rapped the HMDA and Ranga Reddy district Collector for failing to submit reports even after a year with regard to the alleged encroachment of the Mamasani Kunta in Gandipet.

Southern bench of the environmental apex court chaired by judicial member K. Ramakrishnan and expert member Satyagopal Koralapati, while hearing a petition filed by noted environmental activist from the city, Lubna Sarwat, expressed chagrin that its orders from a year ago have not been paid heed to by the two respondents in the case.
