Why should farmers grow vegetables on polluted Yamuna: NGT

NEW DELHI: Why should the farmers be allowed to grow vegetables on the land along polluted Yamuna, the National Green Tribunal asked on Tuesday while refusing to permit a farmer to carry out cultivation on his farm along the river.

"Why should you (farmer) be allowed to cultivate vegetables on the land along Yamuna? Do you even know how much polluted the river is? It contains heavy metals and other high pollutants. People buy these vegetables from you and fall sick by eating them.

"Delhi Jal Board is not going to clean the river and we are not going to permit anything on the river. We wish you could understand the impact of the produce on the health of people," a bench headed by NGT Chairperson Justice Swatanter Kumar said.

The observations came during the hearing of a plea filed by a local farmer seeking NGT's nod for cultivation on the ground that the only source of his livelihood was farming.

Refusing to modify its earlier order prohibiting cultivation of edible crops and vegetables on the floodplains of Yamuna here, the green panel said no activity can be permitted in that area till the time Yamuna is restored and made pollution-free.
