New Delhi, June 7 (SocialNews.XYZ) The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has constituted a joint committee to look into a plea seeking a remedy for air pollution due to fly ash deposits near educational institutions in Haryana's Sonipat, causing health hazards to students and the general public.
In a recent order, the NGT bench of Arun Kumar Tyagi also asked the committee to file a factual and action taken report within two months.
In the plea, the petitioner stated that construction had been going on a flyover at 20th Milestone, Tehsil Rai in the district.
