SC Refuses To Entertain Plea On Cleaning Of Rivers Ganga, Yamuna
The top court was hearing a plea filed by Swami Gurcharan Mishra seeking directions to clean the rivers and also monitor the action plan for their rejuvenation.
A bench of Chief Justice DY Chandrachud and Justices P S Narasimha and J B Pardiwala asked the petitioner to approach the National Green Tribunal (NGT) with his grievances.
"Why don't you move the NGT? There is is a specialised tribunal for this. We are not inclined to entertain this," the bench said.
