💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court has rejected a review plea by Vedanta Group to reopen their copper smelting plant in Tamil Nadu's Thoothukudi, closed since 2018 over pollution concerns. The court had earlier dismissed Vedanta's plea to reopen the plant and emphasized the importance of local residents' health and welfare. The plant was closed following a police firing that resulted in 13 deaths during a protest over pollution allegations.
