The National Green Tribunal (NGT) announced that it might pass an order on Wednesday regarding the plea of restaurant-owners in Hauz Khas Village, who sought the reopening of their establishments shut down four days ago for running without proper clearances and discharging untreated waste.

After several owners claimed that they had installed effluent treatment plants (ETPs), with others saying they were in the process of doing so, the bench headed by Justice P Jyothimani agreed to give an early hearing to the plea.
