The Gujarat High Court has declared Tata Chemicals liable for causing extensive damage to the delicate ecosystem of the Gulf of Kutch Marine Sanctuary. The court’s ruling recognized the company as an encroacher for its actions.
This designation stems from the illegal discharge of effluents into the sanctuary. The court rejected the firm’s claims of historic rights, deeming them unfounded in the face of environmental harm. Directives have been issued to the pollution board regarding this matter.
