[h=1]Delhi equally to blame for dirty Yamuna[/h] [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/toireporter/author-Jayashree-Nandi-479201780.cms"]Jayashree Nandi[/URL]| TNN | Updated: Feb 28, 2018, 05:50 IST [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/thumb/msid-63102484,width-400,resizemode-4/63102484.jpg[/IMG] NEW DELHI: A Central Pollution Control Board [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/report"]report[/URL]submitted to the [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/National-Green-Tribunal"]National Green Tribunal[/URL] has found the levels of [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/ammoniacal-nitrogen"]ammoniacal nitrogen[/URL] (as N) exceeds the [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/safe-standard"]safe standard[/URL] at almost all locations monitored as the river passes through Haryana, Palla (Haryana-Delhi border) and then within the Delhi stretch. [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/img/63101819/Master.jpg[/IMG] Ammonaical nitrogen is basically a measure for [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/ammonia"]ammonia[/URL], a pollutant often found in waste water, fertiliser run off or industrial effluents. It is known to reduce the effectiveness of water treatment technologies. The report submitted by CPCB on Tuesday indicates that the ammoniacal nitrogen level upstream of Khojkipur in Panipat is 0.9 mg/l, while the safe standard is 0.8 mg/l. As the river passes through other drains in Haryana, levels go up significantly, testing at 30 mg/l at drain no. 6, Dahesra, Sonepat. At Palla border it improves to 4.2 mg/l, still above the safe limit even after treatment for drinking water supply to Delhi. At ITO barrage with Delhi�s untreated waste water also adding to Yamuna water, ammoniacal nitrogen level rises to 27.9 mg/l. The report which has test results from samples collected on February 23, 2018, shows that industries in Panipat and Sonepat may be contributing significantly to Yamuna water pollution but even Delhi�s waste water contribution downstream of Wazirabad is very high and may be impacting water used from Agra canal for irrigation purposes. Overall, the report indicates the water is at its best quality before drains in Panipat and Sonepat start polluting it. Dissolved oxygen (DO) levels were also found to be nil at ITO barrage, indicating that the river in Delhi is nearly dead. DO is necessary for the survival of many forms of life including fish, invertebrates and aquatic plants. The Ph levels are complying with standards at all locations. The Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) (the amount of DO needed by microorganisms in various biological processes) at most locations, even in Haryana, exceeds the standard. �The primary cause for high ammonia levels is industries in Panipat and Sonepat discharging effluents and polluting water bodies. It�s a recurring problem. Water with high ammonia is not potable, treatment processes cannot also bring to acceptable limits. However, when Delhi says Haryana is not taking care of treating the water that�s coming to Delhi, it should also look at what the capital is releasing downstream,� said Manoj Misra of Yamuna Jiye Abhiyan. According to WHO, high ammonia levels are an important indicator of faecal pollution. �Taste and odour problems as well as decreased efficiency in disinfection are to be expected if drinking water with more than 0.2 mg of ammonia per litre is chlorinated.� Shashank Shekhar, assistant professor in the department of Geology, Delhi University, said that when water with high levels of ammonia is treated in a plant which uses chlorination to treat water, there is a chemical reaction which forms chloramine. Chloramine has various health impacts, which is why water polluted with ammonia cannot go through chlorination. According to Chloramine.org, people with liver or kidney disease and those with hereditary urea cycle disorders are at increased risk for ammonia toxicity from the consumption of chloraminated water. Chloramine cannot kill the pathogens in the water as well as chlorine. As a result, people with suppressed immune systems must have their water boiled over 10 minutes before use to kill pathogens, or they risk becoming ill.

[h=1]DDA nod to changes in master plan[/h] The amendments passed in a meeting chaired by lieutenant governor Anil Baijal would now be notified by the Union housing and urban affairs ministry, which will also file an affidavit in Supreme Court[URL="https://realty.economictimes.indiatimes.com/author/479239614/mayank-manohar"]Mayank Manohar[/URL]&[URL="https://realty.economictimes.indiatimes.com/author/479249165/sidharatha-roy"]Sidharatha Roy[/URL] | TNN | February 28, 2018, 15:00 IST NEW DELHI: Delhi Development Authority ([URL="https://realty.economictimes.indiatimes.com/tag/dda"]DDA[/URL]) on Tuesday [URL="https://realty.economictimes.indiatimes.com/tag/approved"]approved[/URL][URL="https://realty.economictimes.indiatimes.com/tag/amendments"]amendments[/URL] to [URL="https://realty.economictimes.indiatimes.com/tag/master+plan+for+delhi+2021"]Master Plan for Delhi 2021[/URL] to provide [URL="https://realty.economictimes.indiatimes.com/tag/relief"]relief[/URL]to traders from the ongoing [URL="https://realty.economictimes.indiatimes.com/tag/sealing+drive"]sealing drive[/URL]. [IMG]https://etimg.etb2bimg.com/photo/63103199.cms[/IMG] While a uniform floor area ratio (FAR) has been permitted in all shop-cum-residential plots and complexes and commercial activity allowed in basements, pubs and clubs will have to be moved out of residential areas within six months from notification of the amendments to meet the demand of RWAs. The amendments passed in a meeting chaired by lieutenant governor Anil Baijal would now be notified by the Union housing and urban affairs ministry, which will also file an affidavit in Supreme Court. The amendments may halt the sealing at local shopping complexes, but the parking clause will pose a huge hurdle in getting the revised plans sanctioned for shop-cum-residences. There are 106 local shopping complexes across the capital and most face parking problems. Local bodies will have to provide parking space for every unit. In case no plot is available, either a common parking would be developed in the vicinity or the market would be declared a pedestrian street. Parking and other infrastructure, such as water, sewage, etc, will have to be augmented by the service providing agencies. To promote parking facility, 5% additional ground coverage will be given. Rebate in levy of conversion charges and amalgamation of plots have also been introduced to incentivise parking facility within the plot. Civic officials said that there is no clarity over the ground coverage for plots. The norm for shopping-cum-residence complexes is currently 100%, which will be brought down to 75% on a par with residential plots. �As the ground coverage will decrease, owners will have to demolish a portion of their units,� said a senior south corporation official. There is no separate policy for sanctioning of building plans under the pedestrian street category and it currently comes under the regulations of residential plots. �For instance, if there is inadequate space to provide parking in Defence Colony market, then it will be declared a pedestrian street. However, the building plans will be examined under residential plot norms,� the official added. Rajinder Sharda, president of GK-I traders� association, said, �Allowing the use of basements is a major relief for traders, but there is still confusion about conversion charges.� To mitigate environment concerns, pollution and uncontrolled growth of commercialisation of residential areas, [URL="https://realty.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/regulatory"]regulatory[/URL] measures have been introduced. These include restricting the entry and exit of the plot, control on placing of any outdoor airconditioning units and exhausts along public lanes and residential streets, on-street parking charges, etc. The applicable charges for conversion, additional FAR, parking, compounding, penalty, etc, will be based on the category of the locality defined for circle rates. Existing godown clusters as well as standalone ones will now be permitted with certain regulatory measures taking into consideration traffic congestion, loading and unloading facility, pollution, etc. [url]https://realty.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/regulatory/dda-nod-to-changes-in-master-plan/63108787[/url]
