more-inSri Sri Ravi Shankar’s Art of Living on Monday questioned the findings of an expert committee of the National Green Tribunal (NGT) on the alleged damage caused to the Yamuna floodplains following the hosting of a three-day cultural event organised by it here last year. Satellite imageIt also raised doubts over the satellite image used by the panel to estimate the damage. “The committee, while submitting its report on July 28 last year, had relied on a single Google satellite image from September 15, 2015. In that period, there was heavy rain at the site and selection of that image to ascertain the damage is questionable,” said Nikhil Sakhardande, counsel for the Art of Living. He said that if the panel was unaware of the condition of the site before the event, “how could it assess the impact of the festival” on the floodplains.
