12.1. The petitioners filed an application before the Hon'ble National Green Tribunal, Eastern Zone being Original Application no. 35/2014/EZ raising the issue of environmental hazards faced by the villagers of Namopara. The Hon'ble NGT upon due consideration passed the following directions upon the project proponent.

"17. In the instant case, the machines used are new in the expansive project and require sometime to stabilize. Therefore, from the results of the few samples analysed during the infancy of the expansive project it can't be conclusively proved that the unit is noncompliant. However, with the intervention of the Tribunal the unit could meet most of the deficiencies subsequently. Since the unit is a large integrated iron and steel industry with a captive power plant, it has a high pollution potential and requires constant surveillance and monitoring by the State pollution control for from timely action to plug the holes. We direct the project proponent to construct a garland drain around the premises of the unit within a span of six months and also develop a green belt in order to prevent the dust particles entering into the village."
