On Monday (25th March): The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has directed the Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) and the Uttar Pradesh Pollution Control Board (UPPCB) to address the issue of pollution caused by ritual offerings in the Ganga and Yamuna rivers within four weeks. The tribunal emphasized the detrimental effects of waste from religious items and expects a comprehensive action plan from both authorities.
The Delhi High Court Today (March 14th) fined Kunwar Mahender Dhwaj Prasad Singh Rs 1 lakh for a delayed and unsubstantiated claim to ownership of extensive lands in Agra, Meerut, and Aligarh areas. Singh’s petition, filed more than 70 years after India’s independence, lacked evidence and was deemed inappropriate for writ proceedings. The court dismissed Singh’s baseless claims, emphasizing the challenges of litigating historical ownership.
