NEW DELHI: The National Green Tribunal on Friday imposed Rs 20 lakh fine on the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) for illegally dumping solid waste in a dhalao near a school for the visually impaired in west Delhi’s Raghubir Nagar.
The National Green Tribunal (NGT) observed that authorities cannot be allowed to take advantage of the student’s disability and infringe on their right to clean environment.
The green body was hearing the issue of the students of Akhil Bhartiya Netrahin Sangh school facing challenges and health risks because of the overflowing dhalao (garbage receptacle point) and several open sewage holes near the school.
