The National Green Tribunal has directed authorities to ensure the closure of 76 polluting industries around Bengaluru’s Bellandur Lake.
A bench headed by NGT Chairperson Justice Swatanter Kumar directed the city’s Deputy Commissioner and the authorities concerned to ensure immediate disconnection of water and electricity supply to these industries. It also directed that housing societies and residential complexes near the lake will have Sewage Treatment Plants working within the prescribed parameters, failing which their power and water supply will be snapped.
