The NGT has ordered Uttar Pradesh to complete the Tedhi River floodplain demarcation by January 2025.

The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has criticized Uttar Pradesh officials for their seven-month request to demarcate the floodplain of the Tedhi River, a tributary of the Ganga, deeming it unreasonable. The NGT has mandated that this task be completed by January 15, 2025, arguing it can be done in less time. This demarcation is crucial due to ongoing encroachments in the river's floodplain zone.
