Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has halted the survey at Kerwa Reservoir due to a Full Tank Level (FTL) dispute. On September 9, the NGT ordered the Water Resources Department (WRD) to rectify alleged water wastage within 15 days after the survey was suspended over objections. Dr Subhash C Pandey, a member of the NGT survey committee, raised concerns in a submission, alleging continuous water outflow through an artificial canal.
According to Dr Pandey, more than 90% of FTL/green-belt boundary pillars were missing, and the WRD failed to take action. The NGT will hear the matter again on September 30, and further submissions on the drone survey report will be accepted on Wednesday.
