NEW DELHI, April 8, 2023 (TBINN)
National Green Tribunal directed the District Magistrate of Mahasamund in Chhattisgarh to pay Rs 20 lakh compensation each to the kin of five labourers who allegedly died of asphyxia in an illegal brick kiln.
The Green Panel was hearing a matter in which it had initiated suo motu proceedings on the basis of a media report about the deaths of five people and injury to another at a brick kiln in the district’s Basna Tehsil on the intervening night of March 14 and 15, 2023.
Last month, the tribunal issued notices to the State Pollution Control Board in Chhattisgarh and the District Magistrate, following which a reply or response was filed on April 5, 2023.
