The National Green Tribunal today slammed the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) over inspection of paper units in Uttar Pradesh, saying its conduct made it difficult to trust the pollution monitoring body.
A bench headed by NGT Chairperson Justice Swatanter Kumar said there was patent deficiency in the CPCB report and rapped the agency for abusing its power.
The NGT also formed a committee of officials from the CPCB, UPPCB and a representative from the Ministry of the Environment and Forests and directed it to conduct fresh inspection of the paper units within a week and submit comprehensive report.
