Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): National Green Tribunal (NGT) on Friday issued notices to all the six respondents over pollution caused due to construction of six-lane project in Kolar and lack of waste management there.
The NGT has constituted a two-member committee consisting of Bhopal district collector and MP Pollution Control Board (MPPCP) instructing them to submit report within six weeks.
The six respondents include road construction agency, PWD executive engineer, MPPCB, Bhopal Municipal Corporation (BMC) and Bhopal district collector.
RTI activist Nitin Saxena has filed petition on pollution caused due to six-lane project. According to petition, respondents are required to adopt eco-friendly construction practices such as dust control, noise reduction and waste management besides putting in place a mechanism for continuous monitoring and reporting of pollution level in Kolar.

The construction has led to rise in air and noise pollution affecting the health and well-being of area’s residents. The improper disposal of construction waste and materials has degraded the local ecosystem including water bodies and green space, petition stated.
