NGT’s east zone bench in Kolkata issued the interim direction on August 8 while considering the petition, filed by Bibekananda Pattnaik, a Baripada based social activist.
In the previous hearing, the applicant had alleged that there was no revised DSR placed by Mayurbhanj district administration nor any approval given by the state environment impact assessment authority (SEIAA) for sand mining.
