Ludhiana: NGT slams PPCB over illegal waste dumping
The National Green Tribunal has ordered the Punjab Pollution Control Board to assess environmental damage from illegal dumping in Ludhiana, following a case by the Public Action Committee. Despite prior complaints, authorities failed to act, prompting the PAC to seek intervention. The NGT scheduled the next hearing for January 20, 2026, and imposed a ₹10,000 penalty on the PPCB for non-appearance.
