Relook nod to poultry mkt at Ghazipur: NGT

New Delhi: National Green Tribunal (NGT) has directed the Union environment ministry to re-examine the environmental clearance (EC) for development of a modern poultry and egg market adjacent to NH-24 Ghazipur.
A plea in NGT alleged that the EC for development of a modern poultry and egg market was given only after evaluation of a construction project. Though the tribunal did not issue a notice in the matter, it said the ministry’s Expert Appraisal Committee (EAC) should revisit the matter.
The plea filed by animal activist Gauri Maulekhi raised an objection against the impugned EC that the slaughtering of animals and processing of meat could not be at the same place where marketing was done.
