NGT raises fine imposed on Gammon India
Noting repeated failures, the NGT has raised the penalty slapped on Gammon India and Hindustan Construction Company to Rs 2 crore each for damaging the environment by dumping construction debris into Chenab and Tawi rivers in Jammu and Kashmir. The green panel, which had slapped an environment compensation of Rs 1 crore each on the companies on February 12, increased the amount after finding its previous order restraining the firms from using the rivers as dumping sites was not complied with.
