DPCC: 257 Paharganj guest houses extracting ground water illegally
Hindustan Times
|December 01, 2023
A joint committee headed by the Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) has informed the National Green Tribunal (NGT) that it has found that 257 guest houses at Paharganj in central Delhi are illegally extracting groundwater, and they have begun initiating action against these establishments.
A detailed report will be submitted within four weeks' time on the penalties imposed, DPCC said.
On April 13, NGT formed a joint committee comprising officials from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), the Central Groundwater Authority (CGWA), the Union Environment Ministry and the New Delhi district magistrate, asking it to look into allegations about guest houses in Paharganj illegally extracting groundwater. DPCC was made the nodal agency of the committee, alongside CPCB.
