The National Green Tribunal initiates a formal probe into illegal construction and pollution at Shahpura Lake in Bhopal to address urgent ecological damage.

The NGT has directed a ready-mix concrete plant in Pune's Wadgaon Budruk to pay ₹29.68 lakh environmental compensation for prolonged pollution violations affecting nearby residents and a school.

Residents of Mumbai were becoming worried about the unlawful reclamation of the Wadala salt pans, which threatened a saltwater lake and adjoining mangroves. Land-grabbing was reportedly harming the ecosystem at Eastern Freeway entrance and exit sites.
