NEW DELHI: The National Green Tribunal has directed the authorities to seal all illegal commercial borewells in Noida.
The tribunal has also directed the builders or project proponents to pay interim compensation — at least 0.5% of their project cost.
The green panel was hearing a petition regarding the illegal extraction of groundwater by 40 builders in Noida.
The petition alleged that the authorities concerned had failed to prevent illegal commercial extraction of groundwater, resulting in its depletion.
A bench of Chairperson AK Goel said the unregulated extraction of groundwater was detrimental to the environment and violated directions of the Supreme Court.
