[h=1]Delhi: EPCA finds Rs 800 crore 'shortfall' in collection of green cess[/h] [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/toireporter/author-Jayashree-Nandi-479201780.cms"]Jayashree Nandi[/URL]| TNN | Updated: Mar 27, 2018, 05:05 IST [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/thumb/msid-63473354,width-400,resizemode-4/63473354.jpg[/IMG]EPCA said a portion of the green cess isn't being deposited. (File Photo) NEW DELHI: The SC-mandated [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Environment-Pollution-Control-Authority"]Environment Pollution Control Authority[/URL] ([URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/EPCA"]EPCA[/URL]) has found massive under-reporting of the number of trucks entering the city, leading to an annual shortfall of Rs 500-800 crore in the amount collected as [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/environment-compensation-charge"]environment compensation charge[/URL] ([URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/ECC"]ECC[/URL]) by the concessionaire but not deposited. In a report submitted before the Supreme Court on Monday, EPCA said the calculation of the shortfall was based on two independent audits conducted to ascertain the number of trucks coming into Delhi, one of which was commissioned by the South Delhi Municipal Corporation that has been tasked with collecting the ECC. ECC was imposed by SC in 2015 to reduce air pollution by curbing the number of heavy vehicles entering Delhi. It had also directed that the ECC collected be used for pollution control. EPCA said, based on the SDMC-contracted audit, the weekly potential ECC collection should be Rs 15.8 crore at the minimum while only Rs 8.3 crore was being deposited. The second audit, conducted by Centre for Science and Environment estimated a much higher shortfall.

[h=1]Unpaid dues: Delhi HC sets norms to speed up projects[/h] [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/toireporter/author-Abhinav-Garg-17359.cms"]Abhinav Garg[/URL]| TNN | Mar 27, 2018, 03:07 IST [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/thumb/msid-63473181,width-400,resizemode-4/63473181.jpg[/IMG]File Photo NEW DELHI: [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Disputes"]Disputes[/URL]between [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/civic-agencies"]civic agencies[/URL] in Delhi and [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/private-contractors"]private contractors[/URL]over [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/unpaid-dues"]unpaid dues[/URL] or [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/incomplete-work"]incomplete work[/URL] has delayed [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/several-projects"]several projects[/URL] and piled up cases in courts. Taking note of these, Delhi high court has laid down guidelines to ensure better coordination between the civic agencies and the private contractors to whom they award work. Justice Pratibha Singh, in a recent order, identified the recurring problems between the two parties while hearing a batch of 43 appeals and noted that agreements between the municipal corporations and contractors often don't even adhere to the general principles of contract. "Adherence to the above shall ensure that the works are duly carried out as per the quality standards prescribed and there is proper record of work being done. Once the work is carried out, payments ought not to be delayed, as delay in payments compromises on availability of quality civil work for the corporations," the court noted while issuing the norms. HC directed that from now on, along with the work order, all the clauses of the contract should be attached. Once the work is awarded to a private contractor "periodic inspections of the work being carried out should be done by the engineer-in-charge; if possible, photographs of the works at different stages should be taken and maintained on the record." HC's guidelines also make it mandatory for the contractors to timely submit interim bills, certifying the work which has been carried out. Similarly, final bills submitted by the contractor duly certifying the work carried out should be accompanied with photographs. Referring to another aspect of the contract that leads to disputes, Justice Singh said for refunds of security deposit and earnest money deposit, contractors must comply with conditions in the clause. The court said for refunds to be made, payment of final bill need not be awaited and if the conditions are complied with and the final bill is passed, refunds should to be made. To ease the lenghthy documentation process involved in each work award HC advised the corporations to ramp up their IT infrastructure so that proper record of work orders, inspection reports, final bills, photographs etc can be maintained digitally. "It is noticed that the trial court record does not contain all the relevant documents and in several cases, different versions of clauses are relied upon by both sides, bills are not properly understandable and there is no evidence of actual inspections or measurements having been taken. Maintenance of digital records will make it more transparent and easily accessible for the officials and for production in the court in case of future litigation," Justice Singh noted.

Read More NEW DELHI: South Delhi Municipal Corporation on Monday sealed 18 properties in its central, south and west zone on directions of the monitoring committee appointed by the Supreme Court. "The building department sealed 18 properties in three zones — central, south and west. The department sealed six properties in Defence Colony in central zone against misuse of stilt parking. Three properties were sealed in Kailash Colony in south zone and nine properties were sealed against misuse of stilt parking in Ganga Ram Vatika in west zone by the department," said a senior official of south corporation. No [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/sealing-drive"]sealing drive[/URL] was carried out by North Delhi Municipal Corporation and East Delhi Municipal Corporation due to unavailability of police force. While the areas were identified on Monday morning, senior officials informed that due to the unavailability of police force, the sealing drive was cancelled for the day.

[h=1]Delhi: No parking along roads in Green Park, Vikas Marg[/h] TNN | Mar 27, 2018, 02:49 IST [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/thumb/msid-63473140,width-400,resizemode-4/63473140.jpg[/IMG]Illustration for representational purpose NEW DELHI: Acting or an order given by lieutenant governor [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Anil-Baijal"]Anil Baijal[/URL], traffic [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/police"]police[/URL] have turned roads along [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Green-Park"]Green Park[/URL], Karol Bagh and [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Vikas-Marg"]Vikas Marg[/URL]into no parking zones. A public notice has been issued asking car owners to look for alternate parking spaces in these areas. Police have identified over 40 points where encroachments can be removed to make the roads wider. The road will be levelled and re-laid with asphalt as potholes slow down traffic. "Vehicles found illegally parked in these areas shall be towed away and owners prosecuted. Special enforcement teams shall patrol these areas and prosecute violators on the spot," said joint commissioner (traffic) Garima Bhatnagar. In addition, traffic policemen have also been asked to photograph the violations and issue notices to the motorists at their registered addresses. Illegal parking on these stretches is a major challenge for cops. Vikas Marg caters to close to 50,000 vehicles daily. To decongest it, police have proposed removal of some bus stops. [h=2]Other roads identified by traffic police for decongestion include Patel Road (Pusa roundabout to Moti Nagar Chowk), Outer Ring Road (Hanuman Setu to Chandgi Ram Akhara) and Shaheed Jagat Narayan Marg (Netaji Subhash Place to Madhuban Chowk).[/h] In a meeting held last week, the LG had asked traffic police and the civic bodies to ensure that the stretches cleared of squatters are not encroachment again. He had also ordered the local police to take responsibility for maintaining encroachment-free stretches. Baijal also advised the three corporations to revisit their licensing norms for commercial establishments and link it with availability of adequate parking space.

[h=1]Delhi Metro's Magenta Line eases travel, may slow it too[/h] Somreet Bhattacharya and Sidharatha Roy| TNN | Updated: Mar 27, 2018, 08:38 IST [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/thumb/msid-63473109,width-400,resizemode-4/63473109.jpg[/IMG]File Photo NEW DELHI: While the [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Magenta-Line"]Magenta Line[/URL] of [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Delhi-Metro"]Delhi metro[/URL] will create a much-needed south-west corridor from next month, it will pose added challenges in terms of managing the on-road chaos near the stations on the corridor. Areas like Greater Kailash-II, Hauz Khas and Munirka already face severe congestion due to narrow approach roads. Earlier plans of traffic police to control movement of rickshaws and e-rickshaws along metro stations, such as the one at Kailash Colony, failed due to the lack of parking space for these vehicles, seen as vital for last-mile connectivity. [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/img/63475199/Master.jpg[/IMG] Residents of GK-II, for example, fear a traffic mess in the times to come. "The GK-II gurdwara road has been facing heavy traffic movement ever since the Sarita Vihar underpass was inaugurated, as it acted as a shortcut through CR Park. Once the metro station opens, there will be e-rickshaws and cycle rickshaws parked outside the station," VN Nangia, whose house is close to the station, said. Nangia said these vehicles were likely to move on the wrong side for the lack of a U-turn. [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/img/63475200/Master.jpg[/IMG] Chetan Sharma of GK-II RWAs' association said he had proposed an alternative site close to a park at Masjid Moth, but it wasn't considered. [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/img/63475205/Master.jpg[/IMG] The Greater Kailash station of the Magenta Line is situated on the other side of the outer Ring Road, opposite Savitri Cinema, where the [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Delhi-Metro-Rail-Corporation"]Delhi Metro Rail Corporation[/URL]has made provisions for a long peripheral auto-rickshaw drop-off lane and bus bays. The Savitri Cinema intersection, which already is a traffic chicken neck, could witness further chaos as [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Delhi-Metro"]DMRC[/URL] has been unable to provide any additional lanes near the entry and exit points due to paucity of land. This spot is likely to see a congregation of e-rickshaws and auto-rickshaws as this would be the closest point to access the station for residents of CR Park, Greater Kailash, Alaknanda, etc. [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/img/63475236/Master.jpg[/IMG] Residents also point to another mess brewing at the Chirag Dilli station, as the exit has been constructed at a turning of BRT and the outer Ring Road. According to traffic police estimates, almost 15,000 vehicles use the stretch daily. "At a meeting with traffic officers and PWD, we had pointed out that a service lane near the DDA flats, which is now blocked by grilles and being used for parking vehicles, can be used to widen the road. It is almost 10 feet of space. But nothing was done," Sharma claimed. Joint commissioner, traffic police, Garima Bhatnagar, said the volume on these stretches could only be gauged once the stations became functional. "There will definitely be some challenges, but we are looking for solutions," she said. At Hauz Khas, already an interchange station for metro, cops expect a considerable footfall, especially students heading to schools and JNU. The stretch is already crowded with auto-rickshaws and Grameen Sewa vehicles that are haphazardly parked, blocking a part of the outer Ring Road. And, though stretches near Panchsheel Park and IIT are likely be less congested, residents complain that travelling on colony roads will be difficult due to the spurt in the number of vehicles. Police expect another mess at the Munirka metro station as one of the exits — towards Munirka village — is located at a market under the flyover. "Two lanes of the three-lane road are already occupied by vehicles of shop owners and visitors. Auto-rickshaws and e-rickshaws will only add to the mess," Utsav Tokas, a resident, said. [h=2]"On all upcoming stations of the Magenta Line from Vasant Vihar to Nehru Enclave, adequate arrangements have been made for traffic management at the entry and exit points of the stations as per UTTIPEC guidelines and availability of space," a DMRC spokesperson said. "Separate auto and car drop-off points have been created at entry points. All stations also have bus stands within 100 metres of the entry and exit points," he said.[/h] The spokesperson added that at all stations, there would be provisions for parking of vehicles of disabled passengers near the lifts, which would be connected with the help of a ramp. "Adequate signage will be put up at all drop-off points, auto parking stands, handicapped parking spaces for the convenience of the passengers," he said.

[h=1]About 98 illegal occupants in commercial tower of Le Meridien: Govt[/h] NDMC had cancelled the license deed of CJ International Hotels Limited in March last year due to the non-payment of outstanding dues of Rs 518.80 croresPTI | March 27, 2018, 16:30 IST NEW DELHI: At least 98 individuals or companies have illegally occupied the [URL="https://realty.economictimes.indiatimes.com/tag/commercial+tower"]commercial tower[/URL] of Delhi's [URL="https://realty.economictimes.indiatimes.com/tag/le+meridien"]Le Meridien[/URL] hotel, the lease of which was cancelled by the [URL="https://realty.economictimes.indiatimes.com/tag/new+delhi+municipal+council"]New Delhi Municipal Council[/URL] ([URL="https://realty.economictimes.indiatimes.com/tag/ndmc"]NDMC[/URL]) last year, Parliament was informed today. "The commercial tower of the Hotel Le Meridien block is illegally occupied by 98 companies /individuals as the hotelier either sold certain portions of the public property in gross violation of law or sublet rooms or floors of the hotel in violation of terms and conditions of erstwhile license," Minister of State for Home Affairs Hansraj Gangaram Ahir said in a written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha. NDMC had cancelled the license deed of CJ International Hotels Limited in March last year due to the non-payment of outstanding dues of Rs 518.80 crores. The civic body had also initiated eviction and recovery proceedings, but the hotel group challenged the cancellation of license in court. "The High Court has advised NDMC not to proceed before the Estate officer for eviction proceedings till next date of hearing on April 9," Ahir said.

[h=1]Delhi govt submits notification on mixed land use in SC[/h] The move intends to avoid the sealing drive against commercial establishments along these roadsPTI | March 27, 2018, 16:00 IST NEW DELHI: The [URL="https://realty.economictimes.indiatimes.com/tag/delhi+government"]Delhi government[/URL] on Monday said it would issue a notification on [URL="https://realty.economictimes.indiatimes.com/tag/mixed-land+use"]mixed-land use[/URL] along 351 roads soon after the [URL="https://realty.economictimes.indiatimes.com/tag/supreme+court"]Supreme Court[/URL]approves it, paving the way for legalising [URL="https://realty.economictimes.indiatimes.com/tag/commercial+establishments"]commercial establishments[/URL] there. The move intends to avoid the sealing drive against commercial establishments along these roads. "We have submitted a notification copy in the Supreme Court seeking its approval. Once the Supreme Court allows it, Delhi government will issue the notification for these 351 roads," Delhi's urban development minister Satyendra Jain told reporters here. He said that the government has appointed two prominent lawyers to strongly present the case in the apex court, as demanded by both the BJP and the Congress. The urban development minister said that the DDA should also appoint prominent lawyers such as Harish Salve on the sealing issue in the Supreme Court. The sealing drive is being carried out by municipal corporations against commercial establishments, following the directions of the Supreme Court-appointed Monitoring Committee, for allegedly violating civic norms. The AAP government has been maintaining that the sealing drive has not taken place on 351 roads so far. The BJP has accused the government of delaying the notification due to which traders may face problems.
