NGT summons CEOs of Noida, Greater Noida over ‘concretiing’ of roadsides
Hindustan TimesThe National Green Tribunal has issued a show cause notice to the authorities for failing to enter their response in an ongoing case regarding concreting of road berms in Noida and Greater Noida, despite repeated directions from the tribunal, and asked the CEOs of Noida and Greater Noida to appear before it and explain why action should not be initiated against them for non-compliance of earlier orders. The petitioner alleged that “reckless, excessive and indiscriminate concretisation of roadsides and road berms” was being carried out in violation of NGT orders, government orders and relevant guidelines by Noida authority in Sector 28, 37, 47, 50, 55, and 62 in Noida and by Greater Noida Authority in Sector Omega1, Alpha, P3, of Greater Noida. The CPCB, in April 2024, affirmed that such concreting activity was a “threat” to the environment and said roadsides must be freed from concreting in the cities Noida and Greater Noida. While hearing the case on August 7, an NGT bench comprising judicial member justice Sudhir Agarwal and expert member Dr Afroz Ahmad said, “On the request of the counsel for Noida and Greater Noida, one month time to file additional replies/responses was granted by the tribunal on April 25, 2024.
