The National Green Tribunal has warned Bihar’s chief secretary to provide information on Ganga water pollution within six weeks, threatening personal appearance otherwise. This directive came during proceedings on pollution prevention in the Ganga within Bihar. The tribunal had initiated action on the pollution matter in five states last year. Review is set for May 1.
The Supreme Court intervened by halting notices issued by the Lok Sabha Secretariat after a BJP MP filed a complaint of “misconduct” against West Bengal officials. The complaint stemmed from clashes between BJP workers, police, and Sandeshkhali residents. The Court stayed the notices and summoned responses within four weeks, suspending proceedings in the lower House panel.
