India’s National Green Tribunal (NGT) has held the final hearing in the lawsuit against the Okhla WtE facility. However, it has reserved a final verdict so far, according to The Hindu. Local residents have claimed that the facility was built on green belt land without a valid approval and that it continuously breached environmental standards. In December 2016, NGT temporarily upheld the plant’s operational permit after it was found to meet legal requirements.
