Order of the National Green Tribunal regarding unauthorized and illegal construction of houses, shops and other commercial establishments in Noida and Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, 02/04/2024

Order of the National Green Tribunal in the matter of Rajendra Tyagi Vs Union of India & Others dated 02/04/2024.

The applicant has raised a grievance that unauthorized and illegal construction of houses, shops and other commercial establishments on a large scale are in progress in Greater Noida and Noida in violation of environmental norms. Since many of these illegal construction is being done with top soil, the act is causing large scale illegal mining of top soil in and around the villages, resulting in deep, catastrophic pits which is giving rise to a vicious cycle.
