A day after an Expert Committee report found Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's Art of Living foundation guilty of damaging the Yamuna flood plains during its world culture festival, the spiritual guru has hit back saying the report is biased and untrue.
The NGT has directed the expert panel to quantify the damages caused by AOL to the Yamuna riverbed. NGT has asked Art of Living Foundation to submit a response within 3 weeks.
Slamming and insulting the decision of National Green Tribunal Sri Sri called the Expert Committee "blind and biased". The satellite images and scientific data will help them fight against the charges hurled at them, tweeted the spiritual Guru.
Expert Committee of the NGT is blind & biased. We will fight against this untruth. Satellite images & scientific data do not lie.— Sri Sri Ravi Shankar (@SriSri) August 11, 2016
Art Of Living had paid only 25 lakh of the 5 Crore fine charged by NGT and refused to pay remaining 4.75 crores to Delhi Development Authority as environment compensation.
The World Cultural Festival being blamed for damaging the Yamuna plains was organised by AOL on the banks of Yamuna from 11th March 2016 to 13th March 2016.
