Delhi: Act against norm violations in southeast district, says NGT

NEW DELHI: National Green Tribunal (NGT) has directed Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) to take action against pollution arising out of illegal business of building material and use of heavy machinery in southeast district.

A bench headed by NGT chairperson Justice A K Goel asked DPCC to serve notice to alleged violators so that they have opportunity to put forward their response. “Let DPCC take further action in accordance with law in coordination with other authorities, following due process. The registry may also issue notice by email/ whatsapp as per particulars furnished by the applicant,” the bench said.

The counsel for the DPCC said that though violations have been found and compensation assessed, further action is to be taken in coordination with police and SDMs.

The tribunal was hearing a plea filed by NGO Bandhua Mukti Morcha against failure to take remedial action against pollution arising out of illegal business of building material and use of heavy machinery.
