NGT Stays Clearance for Mormugao Port Channel Deepening Project in Goa

The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has stayed the environmental clearance granted to the channel deepening project at Mormugao Port in Goa.

The tribunal passed the interim directions after appellants pointed out that environmental assessments had ignored the project's pollution footprint on a local population exceeding one lakh people and the direct threat to the livelihoods of regional fisherfolk.
