Abstract

THE Supreme Court has asked Sterlite Industries, a subsidiary of Vedanta Resources, to pay Rs 100 crore as compensation for polluting water, soil and air of Tamil Nadu’s port city Tuticorin for two decades. However, it has overruled a 2010 order by the Madras High Court to shut down the polluting copper smelter completely. The ruling came just a week after a suspected toxic gas leak from the plant on March 23 made people living in its vicinity sick.
