2013 Uttarakhand tragedy not an act of God: NGT
The National Green Tribunal has ordered GVK Group firm Alaknanda Hydro Power Company to pay a compensation of ₹9.26 crore to those affected by 2013 Uttarakhand floods, stating it wasn’t an ‘act of God’. “An act of god provides no excuse unless it is so unexpected that no reasonable human foresight could be presumed to anticipate the occurrence,” it said.
