The National Green Tribunal (NGT) on Tuesday fixed September 4 for hearing a petition dealing with the environmental clearance issue related to Char Dham highway project providing all-weather connectivity to four holy towns of Uttarakhand.
A bench headed by NGT Chairperson Justice Adarsh Kumar Goel posted the matter for hearing at 2 pm after taking note of the Supreme Court order which had asked him to grant at least one clear day to finally dispose of the matter. The matter will be heard by a bench of Justices Jawad Rahim and S P Wangdi and expert member Nagin Nanda.
The apex court had on Monday acceded to the request of advocate Sanjay Parikh, appearing for petitioner NGO ‘Citizens for Green Doon’, that the matter be heard by a three-member bench as they had reserved the judgment on May 31.
