However, the owner has constructed a six-storey building.<\/p>\n<p>Nilgiri Hotel had permission for three storeys but the bench noted that including basement, there were eight storeys of the building.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With great sense of regret, we notice that the present cases are glaring examples of flagrant violation of the above canons of law, violations of statutory duties and more particularly environmental jurisprudence.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The noticees in the present cases could not quench their thirst for indiscriminately and illegally constructing properties for earning money while destroying natural resources and destroying the environment. These cases are examples of cruel human and nature conflict, the conflict that is activated by greed for money,&#8221; the NGT said.<\/p>\n<p>The tribunal directed the Forest Department of Himachal Pradesh to appoint a team for this purpose which will work in assistance with the state pollution control board to ensure compliance of this direction.<\/p>\n<p>The NGT noted that there was shortage of staff and infrastructure with the Himachal Pradesh State Pollution Control Board and the Town and Country Planning department, which was an &#8220;impediment&#8221; in carrying out their duties and functions effectively.<\/p>\n<p>It directed the Chief Secretary of Himachal Pradesh to consider the proposal of the respective departments for enhancement of staff and infrastructure to make functioning of the Board and the Department effective.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Appropriate mechanism should be provided for collection, handling and disposal of Municipal Solid Waste from such hotels\/guest houses, in accordance with the Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016,&#8221; it said.<\/p>\n<p>The judgement came on the plea filed by Society for Preservation of Kasauli and its Environs (SPOKE) contending that such a huge commercial activity cannot be permitted due to the fragile ecology of Kasauli town.<\/p>\n<p>( Source &#8211; PTI )<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The National Green Tribunal today cracked the whip on seven hotels in the picturesque Kasauli town of Himachal Pradesh, directing the demolition of illegally constructed portions of their buildings and imposing fines ranging from Rs 5-10 lakh on each of them.
