[b]DDA finalises action plan for large scale afforestation for planting 4.15L seedlings[/b] The Delhi Development Authority has finalised an action plan for large scale afforestation for planting nearly 4.15 lakh seedlings of indigenous varieties in the coming planting season in various parks, green belts, roadsides, the agency said today. Delhi LG Anil Baijal had directed the DDA to enhance green areas by taking afforestation in the DDA parks, green belts, roadsides, Yamuna Flood Plains, Central Verge of Roads, etc. He had directed the DDA to take up afforestation so that pollution levels can be brought down in Delhi. Accordingly, the DDA has finalised the action plan for large scale afforestation for planting nearly 4.15 lakh seedlings of indigenous varieties in the coming planting season, the statement said. The DDA has also permitted compensatory afforestation on land in the Yamuna Flood Plains of the DDA in lieu of trees to be felled for various developmental works on lands with NHAI, ITPO, DMICDC (Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor Development Corporation), it added. The implementation of the large scale afforestation is being regularly monitored by Baijal.

[b]High-level meeting held to find 'viable solutions' for sealing drive[/b] A high-level meeting attended by Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri, LG Anil Baijal and DDA vice-chairman Udai Pratap, was held here today to find "viable solutions" for the ongoing sealing drive in the national capital, an official said. The sealing drive by the BJP-run municipal corporations in Delhi was initiated in December last year on the direction of the apex court. Commercial premises, including shops and restaurants, were sealed for failing to deposit conversion charges according to provisions in the Delhi Master Plan 2021. "The meeting was held to discuss various issues related to the sealing drive and to find viable solutions for it," the Housing and Urban Affairs Ministry official said. Earlier, Puri flagged several flaws in the sealing drive in Delhi and said there were instances of properties for which conversion charges were paid being shut. Yesterday, the minister had said that the members of the sealing committees worked in air-conditioned offices and did not know the ground realities. Noting that the Delhi Master Plan 2021 was prepared in 2006 and there have been massive demographic changes since then, Puri had said the problem of Delhi has to be solved in "humane and constructive manner". The minister had also exuded confidence that the Supreme Court would lift a stay on the proposed amendments by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) in the Delhi Master Plan which was aimed at granting protection from the ongoing sealing drive in the national capital. The proposal included bringing a uniform floor-area ratio (FAR) for shop-cum-residence plots and complexes at par with residential plots. The FAR is the ratio of a building's total floor area to the size of the piece of land on which it is built.

[h=1]Pollution check: 50 cycle stations soon in Delhi[/h] Mayank Manohar| TNN | Apr 26, 2018, 02:06 IST [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/thumb/msid-63917926,width-400,resizemode-4/63917926.jpg[/IMG]A cyclist NEW DELHI: New Delhi Municipal Council ([URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/NDMC"]NDMC[/URL]) has [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/awarded"]awarded[/URL] the work to [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/develop"]develop[/URL]50 cycle stations under the �bicycle sharing� project to offer people an alternative way of commuting. The cycle stations will [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/rent"]rent[/URL]cycles starting at [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Rs-10-per-hour"]Rs 10 per hour[/URL], from where people can drop it off at any other station. Senior officials claimed that the idea is to encourage non-motorised mode of transport and provide an alternate way to control the rising level of pollution. The Delhi Master Plan 2021 has suggested cycle tracks on all roads but in the current scenario, hardly any dedicated cycle tracks can be seen across the city. [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/img/63917929/Master.jpg[/IMG] NDMC chairman Naresh Kumar said that private organisations have been made a part of this project and all important places under the jurisdiction will be linked. �We will develop 50 stations in the first phase, and will expand it further, based on reviews for the first phase. The project will be initiated on ground by mid-May,� said Kumar. The council is planning to link places like metro stations, office complexes, markets etc, where the footfall is high. Connaught Place will see multiple cycle stations connecting the outer and inner circle. �Metro stations, office complexes, market and tourists places will be linked in the first phase, and cycle tracks will also be developed gradually,� he said. Kumar pointed out that taking a cue from Noida, footpaths and service lanes will be used as cycle tracks. �The [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/cycles"]cycles[/URL] can be taken from a station and people can deposit them at any station near their destination. It will be beneficial for both their health and the environment. Cycling is a habit and these projects will help bring behavioural changes in people, which is the major idea behind this project. We have taken example from Noida, and will develop service lanes and footpaths for cyclists,� said Kumar. The Mysuru City Corporation was the first city in the country to introduce public bicycle sharing service in 2016, followed by Chandigarh in February 2017. NDMC had conceived the project earlier this year and it was in the pipeline to get the nod from the council. [h=2]Senior officials claimed that the service will be extremely beneficial. �The cycles will be available at a minimal cost of Rs 10 per hour and people can drop the cycle at any of the 50 stations. Soon we will also issue cards to the public on similar lines of metro card,� said a senior NDMC official.[/h] �Cycle stations will be constructed near metro stations including � RK Ashram Marg, Patel Chowk, Central Secretariat, Udyog Bhawan, Lok Kalyan Marg, Janpath etc,� said the official.

North-East Delhi MP and Delhi BJP president Manoj Tiwari had said on Tuesday that his party was opposed to the proposed landfills at Ghonda Gujran Khadar and Sonia Vihar on account of environmental and public health concerns. Reacting to that, AAP national spokesperson Dilip K. Pandey said on Wednesday that the land-owning agency that gave the East Delhi Municipal Corporation the two sites was the Delhi Development Authority. Both the DDA, which is under the Union Urban Development Ministry, and the EDMC are controlled by the BJP, but Mr. Tiwari was trying to pin the blame on the AAP government, Mr. Pandey said. AAP councillor for Khajuri Khas, Manoj Tyagi said the 88 acre site at Sonia Vihar included a government school. He added that the AAP would protest against the setting up of the landfills with the area residents and the AAP leadership in the EDMC. It would go to the NGT against it as well.

[h=1]5 years after east Azad Nagar was regularised, residents still await development[/h] Mayank Manohar| TNN | Updated: Apr 26, 2018, 13:45 IST [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/thumb/msid-63917838,width-400,resizemode-4/63917838.jpg[/IMG]East Azad Nagar NEW DELHI: If [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/East-Azad-Nagar"]East Azad Nagar[/URL]is an example of how [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/regularisation"]regularisation[/URL] can change life in an unauthorised colony, there really isn�t much to look forward to as an approved residential area. Five year after this east Delhi colony was fully regularised, residents have little to show as having changed. As in 2013, you still see a string of illegally constructed buildings along potholed roads and broken drains, over which power lines sway dangerously. Most of East Azad Nagar was regularised in 1977, but three of its lanes, on which around 100 houses stand, were left out. After these too came under legal cover in 2013, sanitation, the residents admit, did improve, but little else. Devender Pratap Singh pointed out that even basic municipal services were unavailable. �This doesn�t look like an approved colony, does it?� he muttered, indicating the area around him. [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/img/63917837/Master.jpg[/IMG] Praveen [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Kumar"]Kumar[/URL] scratched his head and said, �Cross the road and you will come to Kanti Nagar. It is an unauthorised colony. But there is no difference between Kanti Nagar and our colony. For instance, no action has been taken against [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/illegal-construction"]illegal construction[/URL] after 2013, and whenever we approach municipal officials or our councillor for help in resolving civic problems like overflowing drains and broken roads, they shrug us off, saying there are no funds available.� The property rates, though, have gone up substantially, especially after Delhi Metro brought the train service nearby. And yet planning has not kept pace. �The colony cannot be redeveloped because it will mean demolishing many houses,� Kumar pointed out. In the meantime, all hopes for amenities such as a hospital, wider roads, schools and a community hall have been dashed. �The colony is like a ticking bomb. In case of a fire, the fire brigade cannot even use the congested colony roads,� said Anil Sharma. Senior [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/East-Delhi-Municipal-Corporation"]East Delhi Municipal Corporation[/URL] officials argued that many development projects had been envisioned after regularisation of East Azad Nagar, but the financial crisis in the civic body put paid to such plans. �Now that Delhi high court has directed the state government to release funds as per the Fourth Delhi Finance Commission, there will perhaps be less financial pressure on the corporation and development work can start,� said an EDMC official. One of the conditions for regularisation of an unapproved colony is the submission of a colony layout plan. So what happened to the layout planned for East Azad Nagar when its status was changed in 2013? A North Delhi Municipal Corporation official explained that the layout plan, created by authorised agencies, showed land allocated for parks, car parking, etc. Civic officials verified the map physically before forwarding the plan to the Delhi government. �However,� the official admitted, �most of the time there is a huge difference between the plan submitted by the agencies and the ground reality.� That perhaps is why East Azad Nagar continues to wallow in civic drawbacks. And that is also why things may not change much for the five colonies each under the north and east corporations that are awaiting regularisation.

[h=1]Delhi sealing: Sitting in AC rooms, panel doesn't understand ground reality, says Hardeep Singh Puri[/h] [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/toireporter/author-Dipak-K-Dash-479213512.cms"]Dipak K Dash[/URL]| TNN | Updated: Apr 25, 2018, 02:38 IST [h=4]HIGHLIGHTS[/h][LIST][*]The Union minister has been maintaining that his ministry has the statutory right to amend the master plan and this has been done in the past as well[*]Puri has also been maintaining that the ground realities in the national capital have changed due to huge migration from rural areas[/LIST][IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/thumb/msid-63903250,width-400,resizemode-4/63903250.jpg[/IMG]Hardeep Singh Puri NEW DELHI: Taking a dig at the Supreme Court appointed monitoring committee on sealing in Delhi, housing and urban affairs minister Hardeep Singh Puri said on Tuesday that the [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/panel"]panel[/URL] members �sit in air-conditioned [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/rooms"]rooms[/URL] and have no understanding of the ground realities�. Puri�s comment came in the wake of a report filed by the committee in Supreme Court on April 16, in which it suggested total roll back of ordinances and acts after February 7, 2007 regarding protection to the misuse and unauthorised constructions in residential premises, which are under challenge. It also suggested roll back of all changes in the master plan through various notifications since February 2007. [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/img/63903254/Master.jpg[/IMG] The Union minister has been maintaining that his ministry has the statutory right to amend the master plan and this has been done in the past as well. Puri has also been maintaining that the ground realities in the national capital have changed due to huge migration from rural areas for employment and other facilities that a mega city offers to them. Ministry officials said some of the suggestions by the SC panel have been accepted such as providing sewage facilities in all unauthorised colonies and treating the liquid waste locally, if the sewage line cannot be laid and not to notify 351 roads for mixed land use till adequate parking facilities are made available. They said agreeing to all the recommendations would mean pushing the city 60 years back. For example, the committee has suggested that all unauthorised constructions whether ongoing or completed �must be restored back to position as would obtain as per laws applicable.� [h=2]It has suggested initiating action to demolish commercial buildings in unauthorised colonies and the land taken back for providing public utilities. Commercial activities in unauthorised colonies should be restricted to 24 categories of small shops of 20 sq meters each as per an SC order of August 2007.[/h] While suggesting the need to roll back all changes in the master plan since February 7, 2007, the committee has suggested, �On mixed land use roads, besides small retail shops, other activities and professional activities are permissible, thus allowing the entire building to be used for commercial purpose thereby making the entire stretch of road as commercial by default.� It has also suggested that the regulation of professional activities in residential areas should be restricted only to the owners of properties.
