Navi Mumbai: The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has taken suo motu notice of the recent flamingo deaths near DPS Flamingo Lake in Nerul, Navi Mumbai. Notices have been issued to CIDCO, the state forest department, and the wetland authority, citing violations of environmental norms and regulations.
The NGT panel, headed by Chairperson Justice Prakash Shrivastava, transferred the case to the Western Zonal Bench and scheduled a hearing for July 17. The tribunal highlighted issues with compliance of the Wetland Rules, Biological Diversity Act, and Environment Protection Act.
The news report mentioned that the lake’s inlets were blocked by high-rise roads constructed by CIDCO, leading to stagnant water that is unsuitable for flamingos. The NGT condemned CIDCO for disregarding court orders to protect the lake and earmarking it for development, endangering the bird’s habitat.
NGT also noted concerns about light pollution from LED lights installed by CIDCO, which disorients and injures flamingos. Environmentalists praised NGT’s swift action and demanded accountability for the officials responsible for the damages.
