Apart from the state cricket association, NGT has also asked the Bengaluru Water Supply and Sewerage Board and Karnataka State Pollution Control Board to submit the particulars about the quantity and source of the water by May 2.
Officials of Pollution Control Board from the Centre, Kerala and Karnataka collected soil and water samples from the hilly area.
The stage has been set for massive environmental destruction, Wayanad Prakrithi Samrakshana Samithy (WPSS) president N Badusha said.
The court put the order on hold for eight weeks. However, it will continue to monitor the waste management issue plaguing Kochi.
It was on March 6 that the NGT registered a suo motu case over the Brahmapuram fire and sent notices to the state government and Kochi Corporation. When the case was heard on March 17, the NGT did not allow Thomas, who appeared for the City Corporation, to present the local body’s arguments.
The regular practice of the corporation is to approach the High Court and obtain a stay on these orders without rectifying the lapses at Brahmapuram.
Anilkumar's response comes in the wake of a Rs 100 crore fine slapped by the National Green Tribunal for a massive fire at the waste dump yard.
The list, submitted to the NGT, included the Brahmapuram plant and 12 chemical factories.
