In a bid to manage the deteriorating air quality circumstances in the national capital, the National Green Tribunal (NGT) on Thursday banned all construction activities till November 14 in Delhi and the National Capital Region.

Smack the Delhi government and pollution control boards over inaction towards controlling the worst situation, a bench led by NGT chairperson Swatanter Kumar quoted, “All construction activity in the entire Delhi-NCR is hereby prohibited. Construction of any kind will not be carried out by any person, private or the government.”

Additionally, the green Tribunal asserted, “We direct that there should be the sprinkling of water wherever the PM 10 is found in excess of 600. There should be standard cleaning of the roads after sprinkling so that the particulate issue doesn’t get higher again.”

The Green Tribunal has also banned the plying of trucks which transmit construction material like sand and cement, within the capital.

Further, it has asked the states of Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, and Rajasthan to make sure that crop stubble is not burnt and has asked the respective governments to make available enough incentives to the farmers.
