[h=1]EPCA to focus on industrial pollution in NCR[/h] TNN | Mar 1, 2018, 06:53 IST [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/thumb/msid-63118963,width-400,resizemode-4/63118963.jpg[/IMG]Representative image NEW DELHI: The SC-mandated pollution control board, [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/EPCA"]EPCA[/URL], on Wednesday decided that it will focus on reducing industrial pollution in NCR this year. While lifting the �severe and very poor� category interventions under the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) in NCR, EPCA, at a meeting with authorities in NCR, enquired what was being done to move industries to cleaner fuels. [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/img/63118969/Master.jpg[/IMG] [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Environment-Pollution-Control-Authority"]Environment Pollution Control Authority[/URL] head, Bhure Lal, also pointed out that many polluting industries in Delhi, which had claimed to have moved to the outskirts or outside on paper, continued to function within the city. Currently, EPCA is working on identifying these �non-conforming� industries. EPCA had flagged the issue of these illegal industries at earlier meetings as well, but the Delhi environment department and [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Delhi-Pollution-Control-Committee"]Delhi Pollution Control Committee[/URL] (DPCC) were unable to act against these units because of legal loopholes. The officials who attended the meeting said they were aware about these industries in the �nonconforming areas� (areas not meant for industrial activity according to the master plan), but [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/DPCC"]DPCC[/URL] cannot shut them immediately as the law prescribes issuing of a notice first. The notice would be as good as recognising them to be legal, the officials said However, Bhure Lal pointed out that, �You can always act against them under the provisions of the Air Act. If an industry is polluting the air, you have the right to seal it under the Act irrespective, of whether it�s in conforming or non-conforming areas.� SM Ali, special secretary, informed EPCA that the Delhi government this year has managed to convince industrial associations to convert to PNG, but mentioned nothing about their plans to deal with the ones working in non-conforming areas. EPCA member Sunita Narain said �Hotspots like [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Bhiwadi"]Bhiwadi[/URL] and [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Ghaziabad"]Ghaziabad[/URL] remain extraordinarily polluted. Industries should be top priority for the [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Central-Pollution-Control-Board"]Central Pollution Control Board[/URL] (CPCB) and state pollution control boards.� An official from Ghaziabad informed EPCA that Indraprastha Gas Limited was given a target in 2005 for connecting residential, commercial, industrial and other sectors to PNG. �Only the industrial sector was reluctant, which is why the target of 1.22 lakh standard cubic metres per day(SDMD) for 2008-09 was not met. Even till 2015-16, only 76,000 SDMD was sourced to them.� Industries would either have to move to PNG or install expensive pollution control technologies to comply with the recent standards on sulphur oxides (SOx) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) notified by the environment ministry. Bhure Lal has already written to all chief secretaries of NCR, including Delhi on compliance with SC order banning the use of extremely polluting fuels�pet coke and furnace oil � and the SOx and NOx standards for 18 industrial categories. The ministry is in the process of finalising standards for five more industry categories, including limekiln, glass, ceramic, foundries, and re-heating furnaces. �As per information, most industries have switched from pet coke to coal and from furnace oil to LSHS (low sulphur heavy stock liquid fuel being sold by refineries). Both coal and LSHS have high pollution potential and therefore, industries will have to meet emission standards�they have the option to install and run pollution control equipment or switch to cleaner fuels,� the letter from Bhure lal sent on February 21 reads. Meanwhile, CPCB informed that all red category industries have been directed to install online stack continuous emissions monitoring systems and connect them to the CPCB server by March 31.

[h=1]Signature Bridge: Manish Sisodia puts officials on notice[/h] Mayank Manohar| TNN | Mar 1, 2018, 07:13 IST [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/thumb/msid-63119041,width-400,resizemode-4/63119041.jpg[/IMG] NEW DELHI: [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Trial-runs"]Trial runs[/URL] of the much-awaited [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Signature-Bridge"]Signature Bridge[/URL], which is expected to reduce the travel time between [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/north-and-northeast-Delhi"]north and northeast Delhi[/URL], are expected to start from mid-May. [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Deputy-chief-minister-Manish-Sisodia"]Deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia[/URL] on Wednesday cracked down on officials during a [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/review-meeting"]review meeting[/URL] and said that work on the project must be completed within a specific timeline.The funds required for the project have not been released by the department, Sisodia observed. �There could be funding issues in the near future. I had discussed the matter in a meeting on November 20, 2017 and directed that funds be released as per req uisition of the technical teams. However, it seems that the finance and PWD principal secretaries and secretary (tourism) haven�t been able to do that in the past three months,� he added. The deputy CM said that the chief secretary could have a meeting with all the three officers so that work on the project doesn�t suffer. �The next instalment of payment, which was discussed in the budget estimate meetings, should be released immediately,� Sisodia added.Delhi Tourism and Transportation Development Corporation (DTTDC) officials said that 95% of the work has been completed and trial runs are planned from mid-May. �Initially, only two-wheelers would be allowed. Four-wheelers will be given access after two months,� said an official. The project, which was conceptualised in 2004, got the nod from Delhi cabinet in 2007. The first deadline was fixed ahead of the 2010 Commonwealth Games, but it was later revised to 2013. The initial cost of the project was Rs 887 crore, which has now escalated to Rs 1,574 crore. The bridge will be an asymmetrical cable-stayed bridge, the first-of-its-kind in the country. It is 675 metres long, 35.2 metres wide with a height of 154 metres, twice the height of Qutub Minar.

[h=1]Traders say master plan tweaks not a solution[/h] Mar 1, 2018, 07:20 IST [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/thumb/msid-63119071,width-400,resizemode-4/63119071.jpg[/IMG] NEW DELHI: Hundreds of traders protested against the [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/sealing-of-commercial-establishments"]sealing of commercial establishments[/URL] by local bodies on directions of the SC appointed monitoring committee, and demanded the Centre brings out an ordinance to stop the sealings. The traders slammed Delhi chief minister [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Arvind-Kejriwal"]Arvind Kejriwal[/URL] for being a mute spectator and demanded to convene a one-day special assembly session to pass a bill to stop sealing and forward the same to the central government. [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Confederation-of-All-India-Traders"]Confederation of All India Traders[/URL] (CAIT) general secretary [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Praveen-Khandelwal"]Praveen Khandelwal[/URL]said that repairing the old master plan is not a solution right now. �At a time, when new master plan is due in year 2021, all efforts must be made to draft a new master plan for development of Delhi. We demand union home minister Rajnath Singh to constitute a high-level panel under the chairmanship of lieutenant governor, comprising of senior officials from central government along with trade representatives to look into the matter,� said Khandelwal. Thousands of traders, expressing their resentment and anguish, burnt effigies across different corners of the capital including Karol Bagh, Chandni Chowk, Sadar Bazar, Kamla Nagar, Kashmiri Gate, South Extension, Greater Kailash, Green Park, Rohini, Ashok Vihar, Vikas Marg, Shahdara, Krishna Nagar, Gandhi Nagar etc. �As a part of the series of their protests, the traders will take out car rallies on Sunday in different markets and will keep their shops open till midnight on March 8,� added Khandelwal.
