Madras HC orders Sterlite plant to stay shut despite NGT clearance
Madras High Court on Friday ordered Vedanta's Sterlite copper plant to remain shut till further orders despite Sterlite getting a green signal from the National Green Tribunal. On December 15, NGT had directed Tamil Nadu to resume power supply to the plant. Sterlite was closed by the state in May after locals protested against its planned expansion citing pollution concerns.
