National Green Tribunal (NGT) has, through a recent order, set a deadline for the State government authorities to take action against encroachments inside the Bum Rukn Ud Daula Lake’s full tank level.
The Southern Bench of NGT presided by judicial member Pushpa Satyanarayana and expert member Satyagopal Korlapati, directed the State government represented by the Chief Secretary, to take action before July 1, and file an action taken report.
The bench has based its order on the facts presented by the petitioner and activist Lubna Sarwat and a joint committee constituted by the Principal Bench of NGT which submitted its report in February this year.
