NEW DELHI: The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has directed the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) to shut down polluting industries in “critically polluted” and “severely polluted” areas across the country within three months, saying that economic development cannot take place at the cost of public health.

The directions, put up on the NGT website on Tuesday, were issued on July 10 on the basis of a study carried out jointly by the CPCB and state pollution control boards in 2009-10.

A bench headed by the NGT chairperson, Justice Adarsh Kumar Goel, issued the directions asking the CPCB, in coordination with the state pollution control boards, to assess the quantum of compensation to be recovered from polluting units for the last five years taking into account the cost of restoration and cost of damage to public health and the environment, and the deterrence element.

“The scale of deterrence may be related to the period and the frequency of defaults. Such other factors as may be found relevant may also be taken into account. No further industrial activities or expansion be allowed with regard to ‘red’ and ‘orange’ category units till the said areas are brought within the prescribed parameters or till the carrying capacity of the area is assessed and new units or expansion is found viable having regard to the carrying capacity of the area and environmental norms,” the bench said.
