DDA has failed to uphold the doctrine of public trust by letting DTC continue with the illegal occupation of the riverbed. It's one example where it has knowingly undermined its own authority and law and thus set a dangerous precedence

The very fact that the invitation of public objections on change of the land use began a month after the six-month court window got over shows illegality and contempt of court on the part of DDA. Post-March 14, DDA was bound by the court to start relocation of the depot after that...

The petition says an encroached floodplain is bound to cause ecological havoc in the form of floods besides upsetting the natural hydrological cycle of the areas situated close to the two rivers.

The tribunal had sought to know the definition of floodplains. The DDA said Delhi's master plan has a zone 'o' which comprises riverfront, riverbed and floodplain.

I think there is a new fact came in that is the depot in front of Millennium Park abuts Ring Road and NH-24 and can house 1,000 buses. Hence i think there will be some change on the amendment.

The National Green Tribunal on Wednesday came down heavily on the Delhi Development Authority for having failed, despite repeated orders, to come clean on the Yamuna floodplains and activities permitted there.

The tribunal had earlier issued notices to various departments of the Centre, and government of Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana over a petition which has claimed the floodplains of Yamuna and Hindon rivers have been encroached upon with permanent concrete structures.
