Hi , As per sources, the following hearing about the case is scheduled for mid-October, with the committees anticipated that would present their reports before that. NGT had before requested development of a seven-member committee to test infringement of its prohibition on groundwater extraction in Noida and Greater Noida, taking after a CGWB report indicating rapid decrease in groundwater levels in both locations.
As indicated by sources, the CGWB report had even recommended that to limit a spree in home-purchasing as investment, purchasers be confined to have one house per family, in this way avoiding unwanted utilization of ground water. If this ground water issue will not be resolved by time, then there will be scarcity of water specially in Noida & Greater Noida.
Hi Guys, Through prior requests, NGT has made it compulsory for builders to utilize only STP processed water at the construction sites. But objections about groundwater extraction for construction are not extraordinary. NGT had set up a comparable committee in 2013, to examine construction sites about illicit water use. With the latest order, the green court expanded the extent of the survey to incorporate all cities of NCR.
Hi Guys, As per the latest news, NGT ordered every NCR authorities to generate special committees which will investigate the consumption of ground water at construction site by developers or builder. Kindly discuss.
Hi Yogendra, According to current news, the court has requested city authorities to establish committees/groups, that will have agents from the respective authorities, the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), Central Ground Water Board (CGWB) and some others. The committees will maintain the records of how groundwater is being utilized at builder construction sites in NCR.
@ Yogendra, According to Mr Rahul Chaudhary, construction is going on over a few areas, for example, Noida, Faridabad as well as Gurgaon. The committees will concentrate on all projects to make a broad database. Mr Rahul Chaudhary the advocate, representing Mr Vikrant Tongad the environmentalist , who had filed the case in the National Green Tribunal (NGT).
According to sources, Public Works Department (PWD) executive engineer presents that existing system has been made useful while the new system will be introduced by July 31. NGT officials charged fine of Rs 25000 each on the executive engineer as well as the medical superintendent of the hospital. This fine amount will be deducted from their salary.
Sources conformed that bench granted bailable warrant against the medicinal superintendent of Sanjay Gandhi hospital and ESI hospital in Rohini, as no one was available amid the hearing of the case in spite of notification issued to them. The tribunal watched that it was considering forcing heavy fine on the hospital for refusal of its order yet favored tolerance saying it will include money of tax payer.
Hey Guys,
According to news, the green panel alerted the National Institute of Tuberculosis and Respiratory Disease that if joint investigation did not discover its rainwater harvesting system set up as well as in working condition, then it would be obligated to pay fine in the act of environment compensation.
Hi Pranay,

Hey Guys,
According to sources, NGT solicited the superintendent of hospital & directors of accused hospitals to be available on August 7th and coordinated the Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) to investigate those hospital premises about the consistence of tribunal's order for implementing & utilizing rain water harvesting system.
Hi Pranay, As per my knowledge, a bench, headed by NGT Chairperson Justice Swatanter Kumar, likewise issued a few bailable warrants against many officials of the units whose representatives were absent in agreement with the notification issued to them. The tribunal pulled up the executive engineer of Lal Bahadur Shastri Hospital for not agreeing to its request of using rain water harvesting system .
Hey Pranay, According to the latest news, National Green Tribunal (NGT) today forced fines as well as issued warrants on a large portion of malls, hotels as well as hospitals and their officials for not following its requests & not installing rain water harvesting systems.
Hey, also heard that bailable warrents were issued against medical superintendents of some government hospitals in Delhi that failed to implement rain water harvesting in their institutions...
It is nice but there is need for constant monitoring. It seems that a tribunal comprising of representatives from the Delhi government, Delhi Jal Board, Delhi Pollution Control Committee and Central Ground Water Authority has been formed that will look into the issue..
yes Mr Roy.. from now onwards no land can be alloted or apartments/flats given completion certificate or occupancy certificate until that building complies to rain water harvesting...
