The Principal
Bench of National Green Tribunal (NBT) New Delhi has ordered for a joint
verification of the OVR poultry farm at Chhatamakhana on NH-26 by a joint team
of the Government of Odisha and the Odisha
State Pollution
Control Board (OPSCB).
The verification
would be done to ascertain whether the farm has a valid licence and is
following the guidelines issued by the OPSCB and the team would submit its
report within two months, said lawyer Bijaya Kumar Babu at a Press conference
here on Saturday.
“I had filed a
case in the NGT on the pollution caused by OVR poultry farm. Acting on my
petition, the tribunal has issued notice to the Balangir district Collector,
the OPSCB Chairman and the Animal Resource Department Director, Babu
said.
“After receiving
then NGT notice, all respondents filed their statements through their legal
counsels. However, the report filed by Government officials was not in
conformity with the information that I had acquired by RTI,” he said further.
“I submitted my
report I got through RTI to the NGT and showed how Government officials filed
an incorrect report.
After going
through the report, the NGT ordered for a joint inspection of the poultry farm,
said Babu.
