Business Today reported that the National Green Tribunal (NGT), looking at the closure of the Sterlite Copper Smelter plant in Tuticorin or Thoothukudi, last week said that the Tamil Nadu government''s orders to close the plant could not be sustained as they went against the principles of natural justice. The move seems to have come as a temporary relief to the Sterlite unit. This stems from the view that a proper procedure was needed to be followed in the matter. Giving his take on the matter to Business Today, P Ramnath, CEO, Sterlite Copper said "The committee has given its recommendation and we have to see how the Tribunal takes it up. The committee has done a thorough job having heard all the sides - the interveners, the NGOs, the government and us -having seen the situation on the ground, and then giving their recommendation."
He further pointed out that such a large manufacturing unit was sealed without giving us any show cause or other advance notice, which just cannot be done without following proper procedure.
The next hearing with NGT is scheduled for December 7, and the company will wait for its decision before it makes its next move. "We have already made our representation. We and pollution control board both have produced so much data in the previous hearings, but it has been made very clear that whatever data they have produced was not sufficient to prove that the unit is polluting," he says, adding that there is nothing to show that the plant needs to be closed down. 有色金属展-铜材展-2019年广州国际有色金属工业（铜业）展览会 -2019 China(Guangzhou)Int’l Non-Ferrous Metal（Copper）Exhibition -Non-Ferrous Metal exhibition, 2019
