The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has instructed the central government to initiate action against the Uttar Pradesh Housing Board Commissioner. This directive comes in response to allegations of environmental and regulatory breaches by the Housing Board.

The NGT's intervention highlights concerns over the board?s non-compliance with environmental norms and its impact on local ecosystems. The tribunal's order underscores the need for accountability and adherence to environmental regulations in the development of housing projects.

The central government is now tasked with investigating the allegations and implementing appropriate measures to address the issues raised by the NGT. This move aims to ensure that the Uttar Pradesh Housing Board aligns with regulatory standards and minimizes its environmental footprint. The NGT's directive marks a significant step towards enforcing stricter compliance and promoting sustainable development practices within the housing sector.
