River pollution in Himachal Pradesh: NGT dismisses Centre's review plea

SHIMLA: Dealing with the matter of remedial action against the failure of the authorities in Himachal Pradesh in preventing pollution in Balad, Sirsa and Satluj rivers in Baddi industrial area in Solan district, the National Green Tribunal (NGT) has dismissed the review application filed by the Union ministry of environment, forest and climate change (MoEF&CC) seeking review of tribunal's April 6 judgment.

In the review application, the MoEF&CC said since the standards in the draft notification have not been included in the final notification, order of this tribunal is not called for. But the tribunal did not find any merit in the review application, saying that the issue in question was duly considered and rehearing cannot be allowed in the guise of a review application.
