The Tribunal also issued notice to the Chief Secretary, Punjab to throw light on the matter but he did not respond to the notice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">The monitoring committee submitted its report dated 15-05-2022. According to the report, the Municipal Corporation and other State Authorities failed to provide a clean environment and failed to comply with the SWM Rules not only at Ludhiana but in other places too. No steps were taken to dispose of 25-30 lakh tonnes legacy waste which is stored at 52 acres of land in Ludhiana. There is no segregation of mixed waste dumped at the site.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\"><i>&#8220;The conditions in which rag pickers are living is pathetic who need to be rehabilitated. In any case, protective measures are required to be adopted to prevent danger to their lives and safety.

The report further dealt with facts leading to fire incident, probable reasons for catching the fire and cause of death, remedial action to save the lives of the persons residing near solid waste dumping site, disturbing trend to finish solid waste by burying it into womb of mother earth, non-compliance of NGT&#8217;s orders in certain cases, garbage vulnerable points in Ludhiana and recommendations, etc.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Tribunal vide order dated 25-07-2022, held that the Municipal Corporation, Ludhiana is liable to deposit a sum of Rs. 100 crores as interim compensation for remedial measures which is to be overseen by the Monitoring Committee. Moreover, the victims are entitled to compensation of Rs. 57.5 lakhs.

Compensation is assessed at Rs. 57.5 lacs &#8211; Rs. 10 lacs each for persons aged above 50 and Rs.7.5 lac each to the persons below 20 on the principle laid down in <i>MCD<\/i> v. <i>Uphaar Tragedy Victims Assn.<\/i>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0000045974\">(2011) 14 SCC 481<\/a>.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">Dismissing the review application filed by the Municipal Corporation vide order dated 18-08-2022, the Tribunal held that <i>merely making of a plan did not exonerate statutory liability to scientifically process the waste and past liability for damage to the environment.<\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Tribunal observed that 5 lakhs MT of bioremediation work is taken up and the remaining 19.6 lakhs tonnes of bioremediation work is yet to take off. A compensation of Rs. 57.5 lakhs have been deposited in a separate account for disbursement after the police enquiry is completed.
