#JUSTIN: NGT green lights Pragati Maidan redevelopment even without statutory clearances

In a precedent setting order, the National Green Tribunal gave the go-ahead to the redevelopment of ITPO complex at Pragati Maidan, Delhi. The nod came despite the fact that the project had taken off without statutory clearances under the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 and Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974.
