The National Green Tribunal has fined the Bidhannagar (Salt Lake City) Municipal Corporation for failing to comply with its order to cordon off a dumping site to prevent contamination of East Calcutta Wetlands.
The Telegraph reports that the civic body has been asked to pay Rs 2 crore to the Central Pollution Control Board with an additional Rs 50 lakh as performance guarantee, which will be refunded if the Corporation cordons off the dumping site and prepares a detailed action plan on solid waste disposal and management within 15 days.
