NGT forms committee to probe illegal waste burning in Aligarh

NGT forms committee to probe illegal waste burning in Aligarh

In a city called Aligarh in India, some people were worried about bad smoke in the air.

They said that places that help sick people were burning their used medical trash and plastic at night.

The smoke from this burning was making people feel sick and making it hard to breathe.

So, a special court called the National Green Tribunal, which works to protect nature and keep places clean, heard about the problem.

The court sent a group of experts to check what is really happening.

The experts will visit the area, talk to the people who are upset, and figure out how to fix the problem.

They have one month to write a report about what they find.

The court will read the report and decide what to do next.

The next court meeting is planned for September 25.

This helps make sure the air people breathe is clean and safe.
