The National Green Tribunal, in an order dated 21 September 2026, criticised the Union Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, the Uttarakhand Pollution Control Board, the Rudraprayag district administration, Rail Vikas Nigam Limited and Megha Engineering and Infrastructures Limited for failing to report progress on restoring Chopra Gadhera, a freshwater stream in Jawadi village damaged by illegal muck dumping during the Rishikesh to Karnaprayag rail project. The tribunal noted that its earlier direction to release a penalty of over Rs 2.03 crore to a Committee of Experts for the stream's restoration had still not been carried out, and directed Uttarakhand's Chief Secretary and top forest officer to personally ensure compliance.
