The NGT's intervention comes amidst growing concerns over potential environmental hazards and violations associated with the sale of land along the sacred Ganga river. The tribunal seeks to assess the legality of these transactions and their impact on the delicate ecosystem.

Authorities are urged to provide a comprehensive report addressing the legality, environmental impact assessments, and regulatory compliance of the plot sales. The outcome of this inquiry could have far-reaching implications on future land dealings along the Ganga bank and set a precedent for sustainable development practices.

This investigation aligns with the broader national and global push for environmental conservation. Stakeholders are keenly watching as the NGT delves into the intricacies of this contentious issue.
