The National Green Tribunal has today directed the Madhya Pradesh Pollution Control Board (MPPCB) to recover environmental compensation from a concrete mixing plant operating in violation of green laws in a village in Burhanpur district in Madhya Pradesh.

A bench headed by NGT Chairperson Justice Adarsh Kumar Goel noted that a team inspected and found that the plant was working near a school and a residential hostel.

The tribunal took into account that the plant was causing dust emission and air and noise pollution caused by the transportation of raw material and it was working without consent under the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 and the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974.

The tribunal, through video conferencing, was hearing a plea alleging illegal operation of a concrete mixing plant and stone crusher in village Dhulkot in Burhanpur district in Madhya Pradesh.
