Contempt plea filed in NGT against Sri Sri over his remarks

NEW DELHI: A contempt plea was today moved in the National Green Tribunal against spiritual figure Sri Sri Ravi Shankar for holding the Centre and the green panel responsible for the damage caused to Yamuna by allowing his NGO to hold a mega cultural extravaganza.

 The plea filed by Yamuna activist Manoj Misra has sought action against Ravi Shankar and said the statement made by the Art of Living (AOL) founder interfered with free and fair dispensation of justice.

The matter is listed for hearing tomorrow before a bench headed by NGT Chairperson Justice Swatanter Kumar.

Delhi Development Authority counsel Kush Sharma told reporters that they have received a copy of the petition and would address the tribunal on the issue. (AGENCIES)
