NGT forms committee to tackle pollution in Dal Lake, regulate houseboats

The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has formed a committee to address pollution issues in Dal Lake, specifically focusing on guidelines for houseboats. The committee aims to develop measures to reduce the environmental impact of houseboats on the lake's water quality. Key areas of focus include waste management, sewage treatment, and overall ecological impact. The guidelines will be designed to balance the tourism benefits of houseboats with the need to protect the lake's fragile ecosystem. This initiative is part of broader efforts to improve water quality and promote sustainable tourism practices in environmentally sensitive areas. The committee's work is expected to contribute to the long-term preservation of Dal Lake's ecological health.
