SC to hear KMDA plea for Chhath at Lake on Nov 16

The Supreme Court will hear Kolkata Metropolitan Development Authority’s (KMDA) appeal against the National Green Tribunal’s (NGT) refusal to modify its 2016 order banning any social or religious celebration at Rabindra Sarobar on November 16. The NGT order also restricted Chhath Puja at Rabindra Sarobar, an ecologically sensitive and a biodiversity hotspot known as the lung of south Kolkata. This year, Chhath Puja will be celebrated on November 20.
