Advocate Mukul Rohatgi, on behalf of the Maharashtra government, said that the state government has issued the tender for STP and the work is going on, yet the NGT has imposed such a huge fine. Last year, NGT imposed a fine of Rs 12 thousand crore on the Maharashtra government for causing damage to the environment. Let us tell you that NGT had recently imposed a fine of Rs 3,500 crore on the Bengal government. It had asked Bengal to pay this fine for allegedly not managing solid and liquid waste management.
