Yes, the DPCC has also directed to submit rectification report by February 9. According to the NGT's order, for construction and dust pollution the fine is fixed Rs 50000. The fine has been kept high as it would instill fear in people.

During inspection by DPCC, In the case of DDA project, it was found that loose earth and construction dust found spread all over the roads outside the project site resulting heavy dust pollution due to movement of vehicles and significant dust pollution observed at project site.

Similarly in case of NIFT and DSIIDC, the unit is extracting ground water from two borewells. The flow meter was not installed and permission was not taken from DJB/CGWA for taking out water. Construction material or debris was found stored /dumped on metalled road.

HI,
The DPCC had already issued notices to all 13 construction sites on December 17, 2015, and January 4, 2016, due to default in taking dust pollution control measure in construction works. In some cases, developers of these projects did not respond to the DPCC. Now, they have to pay penalty.

Good work by DPCC. The notices have also been issued to stop work following the directions of National Green Tribunal orders pertaining to air pollution of dust from construction and demolition activities.
