Order of the National Green Tribunal in the matter of Bishnu Prasad Mishro Vs State of Odisha & Other dated 21/05/2019 regarding action taken in respect of 604 non-compliant brick kilns apart from the 640 which have been already identified. The matter has come before the Tribunal after 24.11.2017. The State PCB had sought time then to file file affidavit containing the information in this regard. But the Court finds the affidavits filed by the State PCB inadequate.

The NGT directs the State PCB to file an affidavit within a month furnishing the updated action taken against all the erring brick kilns including the information pertaining to the additional 604 such brick kilns.
