Approach NGT with plea on installation of FGD systems in thermal power plants: Supreme Court to petitioner

The petitioner’s lawyer contended that deadlines for compliance have been repeatedly postponed, leaving communities exposed to harmful emissions and associated health risks, and public pressure is mounting. The case highlights ongoing challenges in meeting environmental standards for the energy sector.
