NGT raps Haryana for illegal groundwater use; tribunal takes cognisance of TOI report
The National Green Tribunal has strongly criticized Haryana's inaction on illegal groundwater extraction in Gurgaon, ordering inspections of construction sites, farmhouses, and industries. With groundwater extraction exceeding permissible limits significantly, the NGT mandates functional rainwater harvesting, sealing of illegal borewells, and monitoring of legal users. The state has six months to implement these directives.
