India, June 2 -- A joint inspection report found that the Bakriyanwali dump site in Sirsa lacks a proper system for drainage, collection, treatment and disposal of leachate.

The report flagged legacy waste heaps, poor record-keeping, inadequate waste processing, absence of groundwater monitoring wells and no green buffer zone.

The NGT's eastern bench heard a challenge to clearances granted for bauxite mining at the Ballada mines in Koraput, Odisha.

In Puri, the NGT directed that no further construction take place on gramya jungle, or village forest land, in Bairipur until further orders.
