New Delhi, Aug 25: The National Green Tribunal today cracked the whip on a 450-bed super-specialty hospital in Faridabad town of Haryana and quashed its environmental clearance while slapping a fine of almost Rs 12 crore as damages for degrading the ecology.
QRG hospital, a venture of the promoters of Havells India, were directed to pay an environmental compensation of Rs 6.88 crore for degrading the environment and another Rs 5 crore for having started the project without obtaining prior environmental clearance.
Noting that the project's proponents violated the law and "frustrated" the very object of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, the Tribunal quashed the environmental clearance granted to it.
"These are not the innocent people unaware of law residing in some remote parts of the country, all these are builders constructing huge residential, commercial, mixed purpose blocks, like hospital, as in the present case.
