New Delhi: A city court has sent a bakery
unit owner here to jail for two years and slapped a total fine
of Rs 3.5 lakh on him for discharging untreated waste into the
Yamuna, saying such an insensitive approach has led to
pollution in the river.
It is only because of the insensitivity of the people
like the bakery unit owner that "the current generation is
unable to have a pure and clean Yamuna and thus is deprived of
the use of natural resources," the court said, adding that the
appellant had "not cared for the principle of
intergenerational equity."
