Supreme Court Puts Ban on Construction Work in National Capital Region

New Delhi: As construction and demolition works are major contributors to air pollution, the Supreme Court on Monday ordered levy of a fine of Rs one lakh against those involved in such activities and Rs 5,000 against those caught burning garbage in the National Capital Region. The top court directed that no demolition and construction activities should take place in Delhi and the NCR and that local administration would be held personally responsible in case of violation. The court also banned garbage burning and asked civic bodies to prevent open dumping of garbage. (IANS)
