NGT Halts Haryana Petrol Pump, Orders Review of Guidelines

The National Green Tribunal (NGT) said 'no' to a new gas station at a college in Haryana because it was too close to the school buildings.

The NGT said the gas station wasn't far enough away, breaking the rules designed to keep people safe and healthy.

The NGT also wants to make sure that rules about where gas stations can be built are up to date, especially near schools and hospitals.

The court also told the local government to check whether the college was managing its land properly.

The NGT made sure that public safety and the environment come first before allowing developments.
