‘Work in tandem’
The Bench, headed by NGT Acting Chairperson Jawad Rahim, had in an order dated April 23 directed the government and the civic bodies to “work in tandem”.
“We direct each of these entities to submit to the tribunal as to what is the nature of coordination and cooperation they seek from each other….why the tribunal should not take punitive action against all the officers of the municipal corporations and NCT Delhi for violation and not complying with the directions issued by the tribunal from time to time,” NGT said.
DDA’s show cause
Further while the civic bodies have been directed to file comprehensive action plans, the Delhi Development Authority has been issued a show cause notice for not allotting alternative sites.
