NGT seeks govt reply on green zone depletion in NCR

Written By Unknown on Sabtu, 09 Agustus 2014 | 22.33

New Delhi/NOIDA: The National Green Tribunal has sought a response from the Centre on depletion of natural conservation zones like forests, water bodies and wastelands in the National Capital Region.

It was hearing a petition by senior advocate Raj Panjwani against "illegal diversion" of land that was a part of these natural conservation zones (NCZ) over the years.

Panjwani, who was appearing for the Legal Aid Committee, National Green Tribunal Bar Association, quoted news reports that stated NCZs were depleting at an alarming rate. Urban development minister M Venkaiah Naidu stated in Lok Sabha that, according to an analysis by the National Capital Region Planning Board along with National Remote Sensing Centre, there is a decline in the area of NCZs.

The appeal sought a stay on more diversion of NCZ land, restoration of degraded and diverted tracts of such land and quantification of damages caused by such diversion.

The NCT also issued notices to the government of Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan and the NCR Planning Board. The maximum depletion of NCZs was in Gautam Budh Nagar, which lost 55% of its green cover.

Gaurav Kumar Bansal, a member of the NGT Bar association and a part of the application committee of the petition, said, "The major natural features identified as environmentally sensitive areas are the Aravalli range in Rajasthan and Haryana sub-regions and its extension as the ridge in NCT-Delhi. There also forest areas, rivers and tributaries of Yamuna, Ganga, Kali, Hindon and Sahibi, sanctuaries, major lakes and water bodies such as Badkal lake, Suraj Kund and Damdama in Haryana and Siliserh lake in Rajasthan. These areas have been demarcated as NCZs in the regional plans."
