DDA ignores directions to remove official constructions on floodplain, builds more

The Hindu  

Just over a hundred metres from the Wazirabad Bridge in north Delhi lies Sur Ghat, spread over an expanse of at least 2,000 square metres. The DDA, despite court orders, has not only failed to recover multiple such “official” encroachments, but has helmed further concretisation for official developmental works, The Hindu has found. But the DDA, after having renamed the site ‘Vasudev Ghat’, has constructed more permanent structures there, including large sitting areas and 10-foot-high elephant statues affixed to concrete bases. Casting yards About two kilometres from the Signature Bridge in north Delhi, a casting yard — confined areas where all concrete structures are typically cast — can be found on the right side of a road which cuts through the eastern bank of the Yamuna’s floodplain. At another casting yard adjoining central Delhi’s Baansera — advertised by the DDA as an “eco-friendly” bamboo park — a 12-foot wide concrete road has been built.
