[B]Metro ends north-south divide tomorrow[/B] Paras Singh| TNN | Updated: Mar 13, 2018, 01:35 IST [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/thumb/msid-63276352,width-400,resizemode-4/63276352.jpg[/IMG] NEW DELHI: Metro would finally link up north and south Delhi directly as the [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Pink-Line"]Pink Line[/URL] rolls out on Wednesday. The biggest beneficiaries of it would be the students who would now save 40 minutes while commuting between the two campuses of [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Delhi-University"]Delhi University[/URL]. [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/img/63276351/Master.jpg[/IMG] "The commuters riding from Durgabai Deshmukh [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/South-Campus"]South Campus[/URL] Metro station would see the panoramic view of the Ridge and Dhaula Kuan intersection from the highest point in the network—said a senior DMRC official. This point would be above the Airport Express line and as high as a seven-storey building. The whole line has 12 stations, all of them having platform screening doors for safety. Apart from that, the stations are disabled-friendly with special toilets and lower ticketing windows. There are diaper-changing rooms too for those with children. The line had posed engineering challenges at places and these had to be overcome with innovation and improvisation. The Rajouri Garden station, for instance, stands only 2.5 metres from houses. Special pink screens have been installed for privacy of those homes. "A delay of four years happened in acquiring land from jhuggies in Mayapuri and Punjabi Bagh. We could only get the land in mid-2016. Closeness between houses and the metro line while approaching Rajouri from Mayapuri is evident of the engineering challenge," said DMRC spokesperson Anuj Dayal. Foot overbridges and travelators have been installed for saving time of commuters at the four intersection stations. A major highlight of the Rajouri Garden interchange station is a 250m FOB with four travelators. "For the first time, Delhiites will be using travelators outside the airport. Rajouri Garden travelator is functional while the 920m travelator connecting Dhaula Kuan and South Campus will be ready by June," an official said. Huge glass artworks have been installed at major stations as permanent fixtures. These are by prominent artists. Even platforms have been decorated with jaalis resembling pink and red sandstone. The coaches have colour-coded seats and have LCD panels beaming updates like upcoming station, expected time etc. Netaji Subhash Palace is the first station to be built at a semi-underground level. "We are just 2.5m below ground level while entering the station. NSP has been decorated with the largest number of art panels on this line," said an official. At Azadpur, giant fans offer an old world charm. "Three fans have been installed in the station that are power efficient and will serve as good air circulation tools in the non-AC elevated section," an official said. Beyond Azadpur, the line terminates at open fields beside Majlis Park, right in the vicinity of Bhalswa and Burari. "Initially, we will be running 19 trains with a frequency of up to 5.12 mins. It will be inaugurated on Wednesday and people will be able to use it from 6pm onwards," Dayal said.

[B]Traders fret, netas trade barbs over sealing[/B] [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/toireporter/author-AlokKNMishra-479248959.cms"]AlokKNMishra[/URL]| TNN | Updated: Mar 13, 2018, 01:26 IST [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/thumb/msid-63276337,width-400,resizemode-4/63276337.jpg[/IMG] NEW DELHI: All eyes are on the all-party meeting called by [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/CM-Arvind-Kejriwal"]CM Arvind Kejriwal[/URL] on Tuesday to discuss the problems traders are facing due to the [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/sealing"]sealing[/URL]of their establishments for violating [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Master-Plan-Delhi-2021-norms"]Master Plan Delhi 2021 norms[/URL]. While Delhi Congress chief [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Ajay-Maken"]Ajay Maken[/URL] intends to attend the meeting despite the party's bitter rivalry with Aam Aadmi Party, BJP has chosen to be cautious, sarcastically advising whoever is attending to wear a helmet in what is obviously a vicious reference to the alleged attack on Delhi's chief secretary at a meeting in the CM's residence. The meeting is being called in the shadow of an ugly slugfest among the Aam Aadmi Party, BJP and Congress over the sealing drive, which has been going on for around three months now. After the remarks about protective helmets by Vijender Gupta, neither Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari nor representatives of his party are likely to attend the meeting at the CM's residence. The retaliation wasn't too long in the coming, with deputy CM Manish Sisodia taking to Twitter to say, "The sealing has snatched the sources of livelihoods of many traders, but the president of Delhi BJP which has to find a solution is touring foreign countries. The president is touring foreign countries after breaking the backbone of the traders." BJP promptly retorted by alleging that Sisodia's remarks on Tiwari's Mauritius visit were politically inspired and designed to vitiate the atmosphere. "The remarks displayed the CM's lack of confidence in the all-party meeting," the party said in a letter to Kejriwal on Monday. Maken is prepared to attend the meeting and has identified the subjects that he will broach at the meeting, including the non-notification of 351 roads as mixed-use lanes. Despite this, he attracted flak, with [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/AAP"]AAP[/URL] Rajya Sabha member Sanjay Singh snapping, "It seems that Maken is a puppet of BJP." Singh's anger seemed to have been triggered by Maken pointing out on Sunday that AAP's plea on the Centre moving either an ordinance or a Bill to amend laws to prevent sealing was untenable for procedural reasons. Singh did move a private member's bill in the Rajya Sabha on Monday. [B]If it attends the meeting, BJP is certain to face the maximum heat at Tuesday's discussion since it is the ruling party in the municipal corporations, which are carrying out the sealing. Congress, in contrast, has few numbers in the civic bodies and is non-existent in the Delhi assembly, and is thus unlikely to face be hauled up at the all -party brainstorming session.[/B] Kejriwal has already announced at a public meeting that he would go on a hunger strike if the sealing did not stop by March 31.

[h=1]Sealing drive: Protesting traders to down shutters today[/h] TNN | Updated: Mar 13, 2018, 01:18 IST [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/thumb/msid-63276275,width-400,resizemode-4/63276275.jpg[/IMG] NEW DELHI: [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Traders"]Traders[/URL] across the capital will down the shutters of their shops on Tuesday to observe a daylong bandh against the ongoing [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/sealing"]sealing[/URL] drive. This is the third such bandh being organised in the last two months. Traders have now demanded a 'Moratorium Bill' by the [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/central-government"]central government[/URL] in the current session of Parliament. On Monday, the three municipal corporations sealed 48 properties in various parts of the city, including Sadar Bazar, Shakurpur, Gandhi Nagar and Mandaoli Road. "More than 7 lakh traders from about 2,500 trade associations of Delhi will participate in a trade bandh on Tuesday on the call of the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT). Both wholesale and retail markets shall also observe the bandh," said Praveen Khandelwal, general secretary of CAIT. The traders will also hold a "vyapaari panchayat" at Arya Samaj Road in Karol Bagh, which will be attended by major market associations to chart out future strategies. [h=2]A CAIT delegation met Union home minister Rajnath Singh and apprised him of the implications of the drive and sought his intervention. "While speaking with the delegation, Singh agreed that the sealing drive was causing disturbance to the traders. He said that the Centre is taking all necessary steps to bring a permanent solution to the sealing," Khandelwal added.[/h] The bulk of sealing action on Monday was restricted to east Delhi. While only seven units were sealed by the north corporation, south corporation reported no sealing activity.

[h=1]DJB moves HC as water levels drop[/h] Paras Singh| TNN | Updated: Mar 13, 2018, 01:39 IST [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/thumb/msid-63276359,width-400,resizemode-4/63276359.jpg[/IMG] NEW DELHI: [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Delhi"]Delhiites[/URL] should [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/brace"]brace[/URL] for another [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/water-crisis"]water crisis[/URL] in the coming days as the [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/water-levels"]water levels[/URL] in [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Wazirabad-pond"]Wazirabad pond[/URL] have [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/dropped"]dropped[/URL] below normal. This might even lead to closure of production at Chandrawal and Wazirabad water treatment plants. Seeing the severity of the situation, Delhi Jal Board has approached the Delhi High court to issue direction to the Haryana government. "The water level at Wazirabad pond has fallen to 671.3 feet against the normal of 674.5 feet. There is also a reduction in release of raw water by Haryana in Delhi Sub-Branch and Munak canals, which has severely affected the production at water treatment plants. Therefore, water will be available at a low pressure for the coming few days, till the situation improves," a DJB official said. The vice-chairman of DJB and MLA from Sangam Vihar Dinesh Mohania said supply has been curtailed by 70MGD and water rationing is being carried out so that the impact is minimal. "We have been witnessing 30-50MGD reduction in supply due to rise in ammonia levels in Yamuna. Now, the pollution levels have reduced, but the pondage level cannot be maintained. We cannot draw water from below as it will contain silt. The time taken for improvement in situation depends on stance of Haryana as water is released every 8-9 hours," Mohania said. The affected areas would cover most of Delhi except trans-Yamuna areas. "West, north, central Delhi, part of south Delhi, including Delhi Cantt and NDMC areas will be affected" Additionally , due to leakage inside the command tank No. 2, water supply would be affected or available at low pressure on Wednesday from 9am to 12am in Dwarka Sub City, Madhu Vihar, Rajapuri, Mahavir Enclave, Bindapur, among other areas.

[h=1]Central plan to tackle bad air in NCR[/h] TNN | Updated: Mar 13, 2018, 05:22 IST [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/thumb/msid-63276336,width-400,resizemode-4/63276336.jpg[/IMG] NEW DELHI: Giving [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/legal-sanctity"]legal sanctity[/URL] to its [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/plan"]plan[/URL] to [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/tackle"]tackle[/URL] air pollution in Delhi and the National Capital Region ([URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/NCR"]NCR[/URL]), the [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Centre"]Centre[/URL] has finally [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/notified"]notified[/URL] a [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/comprehensive-action-plan"]comprehensive action plan[/URL] (CAP) and asked governments in Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan and their agencies to ensure "strict implementation" and time-lines. Though the plan had been drawn up in January, its formal notification has empowered the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) to issue directions for implementation as agreed by all the states and even initiate action for non-compliance. [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/img/63276817/Master.jpg[/IMG] The CAP comprises source-wise clean air action plan and compliance strategy. It specifies a number of measures including actions to reduce vehicular emissions, curtail number of vehicles on road, a parking policy to tackle congestion, control dust from construction and manage waste disposal. The action points have been notified by CPCB which on March 6 issued directions to Delhi and the NCR states under Section 3 and 5 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 for compliance. These sections give the central government power to take actions to protect the environment. The actions under the 1986 act include power to direct closure, prohibition or regulation of any industry, operation or process if they are found to be polluting. It also empowers the Centre to stop or regulate supply of electricity or water or any other service of the polluting industries. Sharing details of notification, environment minister Harsh Vardhan in his written response to a Parliament question in Rajya Sabha said, "The CAP for management of [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/air-pollution"]air pollution[/URL] in Delhi and NCR has been finalised by the environment ministry in consultation with various stakeholders." Stating that the plan had been notified for "strict implementation by concerned agencies", he said the plan had identified time-lines for agencies to take action under various categories. The CAP includes measures such as setting up of 20 additional real-time monitoring stations by the Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC), expansion of air quality monitoring station across NCR states and undertaking satellite-based monitoring and enforcing agriculture waste burning among others. Though most of the measures, enlisted in the CAP, have consent of Delhi and NCR states, there are few points where the states and central agencies have still been in discussion mode. Such proposed measures include augmenting metro service for carrying more passengers, ensuring NCR connectivity through public transport system (buses and metro) and rationalisation of entry taxes in NCR under reciprocal arrangement. As far as parking policy to reduce congestion and pollution is concerned, the NCR states have agreed to follow Delhi which is expected to finalise its policy and enforcement measures as per the Delhi Master Plan 2021. Under traffic management, the action points under the CAP also proposes considering "introducing plan for flexi\staggered timings to minimise peak movement of vehicles on roads" by May. The states have also agreed to have a fully electronic system in place by then to monitor traffic violations.

[h=1]Master plan change a solution, not ordinance: Hardeep Singh Puri[/h] TNN | Updated: Mar 13, 2018, 01:13 IST [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/thumb/msid-63276238,width-400,resizemode-4/63276238.jpg[/IMG] NEW DELHI: Amid growing demand from traders and [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Aam-Aadmi-Party"]Aam Aadmi Party[/URL] to promulgate an ordinance to stop the [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/sealing"]sealing[/URL]drive, Union housing and urban affairs minister [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Hardeep-Singh-Puri"]Hardeep Singh Puri[/URL] on Monday said the Centre has taken the right step to modify the [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Master-Plan"]Master Plan[/URL] to bring relief to traders and residents as well. "Pass an ordinance, on what?..We don't need an ordinance.. First of all no ordinance can be promulgated as Parliament is in session...Master Plan is a legal document and [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/DDA"]DDA[/URL] is a statutory authority. We have the statutory right to amend the law and we have done it," Puri said, hours after DDA filed its affidavit in the SC. His comments came a day after [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/CM-Arvind-Kejriwal"]CM Arvind Kejriwal[/URL] called an all-party meeting on Tuesday to find a way out. Puri said the housing secretary has talked to Delhi government and civic bodies for speedy filing of affidavits in the SC with regard to the proposed 351 mixed use roads. He alleged that successive Delhi governments had been sitting on the proposals for more than a decade after the MCD had forwarded them. Referring to an incident of scuffle between enforcement agencies and traders in Lajpat Nagar, Puri said violence will not be tolerated. South MCD commissioner claimed that the drive was against encroachment. He did not give a direct answer to whether all illegal activities started only in one or two months, which they came to know recently. In response to a specific question, LG Anil Baijal said the current actions were being undertaken by local bodies as per the directions of the monitoring committee for four violations. These are misuse of the area in the stilt meant for parking, encroachment and misuse on the government land, encroachment of forest land and unauthorised construction not covered under special provision law.

[h=1]'Population growth mandated MPD tweaks'[/h] TNN | Updated: Mar 13, 2018, 07:36 IST [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/thumb/msid-63278130,width-400,resizemode-4/63278130.jpg[/IMG] NEW DELHI: [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Delhi-Development-Authority"]Delhi Development Authority[/URL] on Monday told [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Supreme-Court"]Supreme Court[/URL] that [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/MPD-2021"]MPD 2021[/URL] needed to be amended to accommodate the ever growing population of Delhi and this required mixed land use. ASG Maninder Singh said concerns regarding impact of change in law on environment and existing infrastructure have been examined by [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/DDA"]DDA[/URL] in detail and there is no illegality. The authority, however, admitted no environment impact assessment was conduted as it is not mandated under law. [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/img/63276874/Master.jpg[/IMG] "The modifications had been carried out from time to time while keeping in view the need for growing population of Delhi and also the existing ground realities and future needs of the city, following the principle of service seeker and service provider to be in the same neighbourhood so as to curtail transportation. Provisions have also been made in the MPD 2021 for minimum 15% of the proposed FAR to be constructed for community service personnel/EWS and lower category," DDA said in its affidavit. The development of commercial or service areas is intended to reduce the need for longer time spent on transport and use of vehicles. "This 15% of the proposed FAR would be over and above 200 permissible FAR and density of 200 dwelling units per hectare so that the requirement for their commutation for availing / providing services for the residents of the localities becomes minimal," it said. The affidavit was filed in compliance of the apex court's queries. DDA said amendment of MPD would have no adverse impact on the city's infrastructure as number of commercial areas or establishments were not proposed to be increased. [h=2]"It is submitted that the proposed modifications are not in the nature of changing existing population density within the colonies nor they are in the nature of effecting important alteration of the plan and they do not relate to the extent of land uses therefore, they are not expected to cause any [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/congestion-on-road"]congestion on road[/URL][SIZE=13px], [/SIZE][URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/parking"]parking[/URL][SIZE=13px], [/SIZE][URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/pollution-existing"]pollution existing[/URL][SIZE=13px]infrastructure/civic amenities," the authority said.[/SIZE][/h] "...at present, the population of Delhi is approximately 168 lakh and this phenomenal increase from 2001, has inevitable implications and impact in terms of shelters including squatter settlement, unauthorized colonies, squatters, JJ settlements, infra facilities, employment and phenomenal growth of automobiles resulting in a variety of problems pertaining to congestions, pollution, safety of travels, parking, growing demand of water and electricity etc," it said.

[h=1]SC asks DDA why conversion charge for commercial use was reduced[/h] A bench comprising Justices Madan B Lokur and Deepak Gupta asked the DDA's counsel how the conversion charge for commercial use of upper residential floors of various markets in the national capital had been reduced.PTI | March 13, 2018, 11:30 IST NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday came down heavily on the [URL="https://realty.economictimes.indiatimes.com/tag/delhi+development+authority"]Delhi Development Authority[/URL] ([URL="https://realty.economictimes.indiatimes.com/tag/dda"]DDA[/URL]) for slashing the one-time conversion charge for commercial use from Rs 89,000 per square metre to around Rs 22,000, and asked why such a step was taken. Observing that the DDA seemed to be under a "lot of pressure", the apex court, while hearing an application related to sealing in defence colony market here, sought to know from the DDA and other civic agencies as to whether the constructions allowed were in accordance with environmental laws and the steps they had taken for fire and other safety measures, availability of water, electricity, footpaths for pedestrians and adequate parking facility. A bench comprising Justices Madan B Lokur and Deepak Gupta asked the DDA's counsel how the conversion charge for commercial use of upper residential floors of various markets in the national capital had been reduced. "Will you (DDA) do whatever you like to do? Please file an affidavit. It appears that you are under lot of pressure. What about environmental law and fire safety," the bench asked DDA and directed the authority to apprise the court on what basis the conversion charge was reduced. It asked the DDA to file an affidavit in this regard within two weeks. As per a notification issued in December last year, the rate of conversion charge for commercial use of upper residential floors of various markets here was slashed from Rs 89,000 per square metre to Rs 22,274 per square metre of built-up area and the reduced rates would remain in force till June 2018. During the hearing today, the bench also dealt with an application filed by some lawyers whose office, located in the basement of a building in the posh Hauz Khas market here, was earlier sealed by the authorities. The bench, which had on January 25 asked the South Delhi Municipal Corporation to de-seal the lawyers' office, said there were "so many violations". "You are going to create problems for everybody. It is better you admit that you have made a blunder," the bench observed, adding, "You close your office by March 31. You cannot regularise it. You are putting the life of people in danger". The counsel representing the applicant sought some time to seek instructions in the matter. The bench granted time to the lawyer but said it has made its view clear that the office has to be closed down by March 31. Meanwhile, the DDA informed the bench that they have prepared an affidavit as per the apex court's earlier direction seeking various details, including whether an environment impact assessment was conducted before proposing an amendment to the Delhi Master Plan 2021, and it would be filed soon. The top court had on March 6 stayed any further progress by the authorities to amend Delhi Master Plan 2021, which is aimed at granting protection from the ongoing sealing drive in the national capital, while taking strong exception that neither the Delhi government, nor the DDA or the Municipal Corporations of Delhi (MCDs) had filed affidavits as per its directions. It had also observed that the rule of law over sanction to construct buildings had "completely broken down" and expressed concern over illegal construction. It had ordered restoration of its monitoring panel to identify and seal offending structures. The committee, comprising K J Rao, former advisor to the Election Commission, Bhure Lal, chairman, Environment Pollution Control Authority, and Major General (Retd) Som Jhingan, was set up on March 24, 2006, by the apex court.

[h=1]Congestion charges could be a reality in the capital, says LG Anil Baijal[/h] [h=2]The number of cars registered in the city as of May 2017 was 31 lakh — the highest in the country — with a density of 93 cars per km of road, said officials.[/h] By: [URL="http://indianexpress.com/agency/express-news-service/"]Express News Service[/URL] | New Delhi | Published: March 13, 2018 1:17 am Delhi is likely to become the first city in India to have a congestion cess on certain stretches in the capital, L-G Anil Baijal said on Monday. "What we are looking at is the possibility of roads that need to be made one-way. This is also the first time we are looking at congestion charges in Delhi," he said. Baijal said the government was not looking to "prematurely jump into the matter" but was exploring alternatives. "Certain roads get clogged in a certain period. This is a matter of field study. But what we are exploring is to have an ERP (electronic road pricing) — you have a tag and when you enter these roads, you automatically get charged from the amount you paid for the ERP." This, he said, is a work in progress. Officials said that after discussions with stakeholders, such as the three municipal corporations and the Union Urban Affairs Ministry, the L-G has zeroed in on different stretches where congestion tax could be imposed in a bid to ease traffic and check pollution. These include the corridor between Aurobindo Marg and Andheria More, Nehru Place flyover and Modi Mills flyover, areas around Hauz Khas Metro station on the Outer Ring Road, the ITO intersection, and parts of Mehrauli-Gurgaon road, Mathura Road and Pusa Road, officials said. Baijal added, "We already have a parking policy for the city. It is almost ready and I am hopeful that it will soon be implemented. But decisions such as this need community involvement as well. They have to be worked out by local bodies of citizens, which areas need decongesting." He stressed that these decisions had to take place in a "transparent" manner. The Delhi Integrated Multi-Modal Transit System Ltd has been asked to carry out a feasibility study of these corridors, said officials. The number of cars registered in the city as of May 2017 was 31 lakh — the highest in the country — with a density of 93 cars per km of road, said officials.

[h=1]DDA has sought changes in Delhi master plan 2021: Housing Minister[/h] Puri also rejected demands for bringing in an ordinance to stop the sealing drive, asking how an ordinance could be brought while a Parliament session was underwayPTI | March 13, 2018, 15:00 IST NEW DELHI: Union Minister [URL="https://realty.economictimes.indiatimes.com/tag/hardeep+singh+puri"]Hardeep Singh Puri[/URL] said the [URL="https://realty.economictimes.indiatimes.com/tag/delhi+development+authority"]Delhi Development Authority[/URL]([URL="https://realty.economictimes.indiatimes.com/tag/dda"]DDA[/URL]) today submitted an affidavit in the [URL="https://realty.economictimes.indiatimes.com/tag/supreme+court"]Supreme Court[/URL] seeking an amendment to the Delhi Master Plan 2021 to address the problem of sealing drive in the national capital. Puri also rejected demands for bringing in an ordinance to stop the sealing drive, asking how an ordinance could be brought while a [URL="https://realty.economictimes.indiatimes.com/tag/parliament"]Parliament[/URL] session was underway. He said the Master Plan was a legal document which provided the opportunity and the possibility for an amendment and the DDA had the right to carry out its statutory function and amend the Master Plan. "The DDA's proposed modification in the Master Plan was in exercise of its statutory duty and by following due and prescribed procedure of law," he said while addressing a conference here. As part of the affidavit, he said the DDA had prepared its response to nine issues raised by the amicus curiae that included those related to environment, congestion, traffic, safety measures, civic amenities and parking. He said the DDA had submitted that the modification in the Master Plan would have only minimal effect over the environment and other existing facilities. LG Anil Baijal, who was also present on the occasion, said at present, the sealing drive was being undertaken only in respect to those commercial establishments which have come up in stilts mandatorily required for parking spaces, areas where unauthorised construction had taken place and areas government-owned and reserved forest land had been encroached upon. Senior AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj, however, accused the LG of "revealing the BJP's intentions behind the sealing drive". He did not elaborate on the what he meant though. "Anil Baijal's intention is the BJP's intention," Bharadwaj said, claiming that the LG had asserted that the sealing drive was undertaken against the people doing wrong and "it would continue despite his claims" of having a solution to the problem. However, a HUA ministry spokesperson later refuted the charges and said Baijal had said that the current actions were being undertaken by the local bodies as per the directions of the Monitoring Committee appointed by the Supreme Court. The spokesperson said Baijal had only elaborated on the areas where the sealing action was being undertaken. Meanwhile, Puri also criticised the incidents of violence taking place against the backdrop of the sealing drive and said the proposed amendments in Master Plan were in favour of traders. He also held responsible the previous governments in Delhi and at the Centre for not taking steps against the violations of the Master Plan which, he said, had resulted in the present problem.
