Are you toothless tiger, HC asks PCB

HC reserves orders in case on idol immersion
Telangana High Court on Tuesday asked State Pollution Control Board if it was a toothless tiger as it was not cracking whip against pollution of Hussainsagar due to immersion of Ganesh idols made of plaster of paris. While reserving orders in a contempt of court case relating to immersion of Ganesh idols in Hussainsagar, a bench of Acting Chief Justice M.S. Ramachandra Rao and Justice T. Vinod Kumar sought to know why the PCB was not acting against pollution despite it having powers under different Acts. “You take action against quarry owners...somehow you are not doing much on pollution of Hussainsagar”, the Acting CJ observed. He wondered what had happened to the powers conferred on PCB under Water and Environment Protection Acts. “Apparently there is no will to do anything...a statute confers power on you and you shirk responsibility,” he remarked.
