NGT panel gets 4L letters against Sterlite plant re-opening
A National Green Tribunal-appointed expert panel, headed by Justice Tarun Agarwala, has received four lakh letters against the re-opening of Sterlite plant in Tamil Nadu's Thoothukudi. Sterlite has also submitted over one lakh letters in its support, in addition to the 45,000 given earlier. The plant was closed in May after 13 people died in police firing during anti-Sterlite protests.
