Officials of the Karnataka Neeravari Nigam Ltd are hopeful that the National Green Tribunal, Delhi, which is scheduled to hear a case pertaining to the Yettinahole project on Wednesday, will rule in favour of Karnataka.
The case pertains to an application filed by environmentalists before the NGT,
Chennai.
They have contended that the government has not sought the required environmental clearances from the Ministry of Environment and Forests. The greens had moved the NGT based on a complaint filed by an RFO that trees were being felled illegally in the proposed project site.
