Since the matter was sub-judice in the Supreme Court "we request the committee to postpone the visit" to Tuticorin and Chennai slated from September 22-24, it said.
The NGT had given the interim order setting up the panel on an appeal filed by the Vedanta challenging the state government's May 28 order directing permanent closure of its copper smelter plant in Tuticorin on environment grounds in the wake of protests by locals.
