[h=1][/h] [h=1]Man convicted for failing to do police verification of tenant[/h] A landlord's failure to get the police verification of his tenant done led to his conviction by a Delhi court which, however, spared him a jail term. PTI | Sep 19, 2018, 06:06 IST [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/thumb/msid-65864529,imgsize-230574,width-400,resizemode-4/65864529.jpg[/IMG] Representaive image NEW DELHI: A landlord's failure to get the police verification of his tenant done led to his conviction by a Delhi court which, however, spared him a jail term. Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Jitendra Singh while convicting Niranjan Mishra, a resident of [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Pandav-Nagar"]Pandav Nagar[/URL] in east Delhi, said he was only admonishing him taking note of the fact that he belonged to the "poor strata of the society". The tenant was living at Mishra's home for about four years. The punishment for the offence extends to one month imprisonment with a provision also for a maximum six-month jail term. A case was filed under section 188 of the IPC (disobedience to order duly promulgated by public servant) against the landlord in January.

Data provided by the DMRC, in response to an RTI filed by [I]The Hindu[/I] , revealed that despite being the peak summer months, approximately 23.51 lakh commuters availed the metro in May this year as opposed to an average of 27.1 lakh commuters for the same period in 2017, on a daily basis. However, a senior DMRC spokesperson said that the ridership "has picked up and is touching 30 lakh now". [B]Daily ridership[/B] When compared to 2017's data for the month of June and July, the RTI query reveals that there has been a 5.9% and 5.73% dip respectively. While in June 2017 the metro recorded a daily average of 26.29 lakh commuters, for the month of July 2017, it was 27.24 lakh commuters. On the contrary, the average daily ridership for the months of May, June and July for the year 2015, before the fare hike, were approximately 24.24 lakh, 25.56 lakh and 26.14 lakh commuters respectively, despite the Pink and Magenta Lines not being operational. For 2016, the daily ridership for the months of May, June and July for the year 2016 was around 27 lakh daily. The metro had seen a second round of fare hike in October 2017. While the first corridor of the Magenta Line became operational for passenger services in December 2017, the first segment of the Pink Line was thrown open to the public in March this year. The DMRC over the last few months, have made the entire Magenta Line (Janakpuri West-Botanical Garden) and the Pink Line corridor between Majlis Park-Lajpat Nagar — operational — both of which are a part of its Phase III project. [B]Seamless transfer[/B] Highlighting the need for a policy for "seamless transfer between different modes of transport", Centre for Science and Environment executive director, research and advocacy, Anumita Roychowdhury said, "There needs to be a policy to ensure seamless transfer between various modes of transport including the metro and the DTC buses, for example. This also includes a fare-integration policy where the commuter will not be charged any penalty for the transfer. The fare policy should be such that the total commuting cost is viable for all." Attributing multiple factors like poor last-mile connectivity, to the dip in ridership, former IIT-Delhi Professor Dinesh Mohan said, "Last-mile connectivity continues to be a hassle as one cannot take the shortest route due to gated offices, colonies and so on. Second, multiple studies have shown that commuters now prefer to share cabs, as it is a cheaper and more viable option than taking the metro and worrying about last mile connectivity."

[B]Need to make compensatory planting must before nod to cut trees, Delhi govt told[/B] [B]The plea argued that trees should not be cut since compensatory afforestation was not viable in Delhi, a city that has been facing acute water shortage.[/B] DELHI Updated: Sep 19, 2018 02:05 IST [IMG]https://www.hindustantimes.com/rf/image_size_90x90/HT/Web/AuthorsAndColumnists/Pictures/Crop/20161122_DLI-VK-MN_Bhadra%20Sinha%20-001-kXsB-U206712082368yB-250x250%40HT-Web.jpg[/IMG] [URL="https://www.hindustantimes.com/columns/bhadra-sinha"]Bhadra Sinha[/URL] Hindustan Times, New Delhi [IMG]https://www.hindustantimes.com/rf/image_size_960x540/HT/p2/2018/09/19/Pictures/_d88a7582-bb81-11e8-95ec-91800d079bb4.jpg[/IMG] The petition said that Delhi was not in a position to afford more felling of trees. Sonu Mehta/HT FILE The Delhi government was asked on Tuesday to explore the possibility of making planting of saplings mandatory before it grants permission to fell trees for development projects in the national capital. A bench of justices MB Lokur and Deepak Gupta sought a response from the state government within a week on the suggestion that was placed before it by Delhi-based orthopaedic surgeon, Kaushal Kant Mitra. Additional solicitor general Pinky Anand was told to get instructions on Mitra's plea, which also questions a proposal to set up a waste-to-energy plant in Delhi for which the concessionaire wants permission to cut 203 trees. Although the concessionaire has offered to deposit the cost towards compensatory afforestation, Mitra has opposed it by citing figures to show that fresh sapling never get planted in lieu of chopped trees. Mitra's lawyer, Gopal Sankaranarayanan, said the Delhi government was not in a position to afford more felling of trees. He pointed out the 2018 Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report which stated that there is a deficit of as many as 8.45 lakh trees which were supposed to be planted under the government's "Green Delhi" initiative. "Further, the CAG notes that there was inadequate internal evidence on the files of the forest department's offices for the physical verification of the fact that they were actually planted and/or that they survived", the court was told. Mitra's application also claims the "Tree Authority of Delhi" has met only once in the last five years. This indicates there was no application of mind in allowing precious trees to be cut, the application said. "The way out is that the contractor or agency authorised for the project must first plant the sapling, which should be verified physically before permission is extended to cut the trees," Sankaranarayanan said. Mitra is also the petitioner before the Delhi High Court, which had on July 4 stopped the tree authority not to permit felling of trees. The concessionaire for the waste-to-energy project had moved the HC seeking a modification of its order and to allow it to cut the trees. The company claimed that the project had been approved by the top court-appointed Centrally Empowered Committee subject to South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) depositing the cost for planting 10 times the number of trees that would be cut. Sankaranaryanan argued that trees should not be cut since compensatory afforestation was not viable in Delhi, a city that has been facing acute water shortage.

[h=1]Environment body exploring ways to stop entry of polluting Indonesia coal into Delhi[/h] [h=2]EPCA asked officials of Coal India Limited to suggest how the supply of coal to Delhi-based traders could be restricted.[/h] DELHI Updated: Sep 19, 2018 03:58 IST [IMG]https://www.hindustantimes.com/images/app-images/ht/default_author.png[/IMG] HT Correspondent Hindustan Times, New Delhi [IMG]https://www.hindustantimes.com/rf/image_size_960x540/HT/p2/2018/09/19/Pictures/_5ec3f48e-bb91-11e8-95ec-91800d079bb4.jpg[/IMG] The Delhi government has banned the use of coal in the national Capital to check pollution levels. With the Delhi government banning the use of coal in the national Capital, the Supreme Court-appointed Environment Pollution (Prevention and Control) Authority (EPCA) is concerned with the influx of coal imported from Indonesia and the US. This coal has high sulphur content and triggers heavy air pollution when burned. In a meeting held last week, EPCA asked officials of Coal India Limited to suggest how the supply of coal to Delhi-based traders could be restricted. The court-appointed body will also discuss with the shipping ministry and directorate general of foreign trade on how to check the entry of imported coal to Delhi. "The use of coal has been banned in Delhi but we were informed in a recent meeting that imported Indonesian and US coal was still reaching NCR and Delhi. They are mainly coming from the Kandla port in Gujarat. They have high sulphur content and we have to find ways to check their entry to Delhi," said Sunita Narain, member of EPCA. The Delhi environment department had published a list of approved fuels on June 29 this year in which the use of coal was banned. Only thermal power plants have been allowed to use coal that has sulphur content less than 0.4%. Industries have been asked to shift to piped natural gas by September-end. Indonesian coal has a sulphur content of 8% - 9%. This means if used, they would produce huge amounts of sulphur dioxide. "We have asked Coal India to explore ways on how to restrict the entry of coal to Delhi. One of the suggestions that have come up is to refuse supply of coal to any trader whose address shows that he is based in Delhi," said an EPCA member. But after Coal India officials claimed that they are not a part of the supply chain when it comes to imported coal, EPCA is now exploring ways on how to stop its entry to Delhi. "We are not sure as to how the supply chain of imported coal works. We are exploring ways on how to check coal coming from ports. We might have to discuss it with the directorate general of foreign trade and the shipping ministry," said an EPCA member. HT had earlier reported that bunker oil – one of the most polluted fuels in the world and used by ships – was allegedly being used by industries in the National Capital Region to replace banned furnace oil, EPCA was warned. A senior official of the Delhi Pollution Control Committee said coal was largely used by industries and power plants. "But the use has gone down over the years. While industries are now shifting to PNG, the use of coal has also come down in houses because of LPG. Some small-time traders such as dhabas, restaurants, and those who iron clothes have been exempted and they could use charcoal," said a DPCC official.

(Burhaan Kinu/HT Photo)[LIST][/LIST][B]New Delhi[/B] An almost a year-long exercise by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) to restore a mural serendipitously discovered while cleaning the ceiling of a historic marketplace in Delhi's Red Fort is on the verge of being completed and will be ready for visitors to see from next month, according to three senior officials familiar with the restoration work. This Mughal-era artwork — geometric and floral motifs in an 80-metre-long vaulted arcade called Chhatta bazaar — was hidden under multiple coats of whitewashing applied casually over the years as part of citadel's maintenance and structural conservation work. The ASI had forgotten about the mural's existence, and discovered it last October when it began restoring the corridor that is lined by souvenir shops on both sides. In addition to the mural, visitors to the Red Fort will be also have access to buildings constructed by the British during its 90-year-long occupation of the monument between 1857 and 1947. Four British-built barracks, which were under the control of the Indian Army since Independence and were inaccessible to visitors,are being converted into themed museums, said one of the officials cited above. "The conservation of the painting on the roof of Chhatta bazaar may take another month. People coming to the fort after that will see Mughal-era art that was lying concealed for decades," said the official, who asked not to be named because he is not authorised to speak to the media. "We will hand over all four barracks by end of this month," he added. The four museums proposed to be set up at the barracks will be dedicated to the first war of independence in 1857, the Indian National Army led by Subhas Chandra Bose, India's soldiers who participated in World War I, and the Jallianwala Bagh massacre of 1919. NK Pathak, ASI's superintending archaeologist, Delhi circle, said that nearly 70% of mural has been restored and the remaining work will be completed in a few weeks. "Lime coats are being manually scraped of with precision, which is a time-consuming process. This is to ensure that the original design is not damaged. Once entire artwork is exposed, we will take measures to protect it. Hopefully, by mid-October, we will be able to finish the work," Pathak said. A third official said that around 30-35 experts from ASI's science branch have been working tirelessly to restore the designs. "Chhatta bazaar's passageway has bitumen, which is being replaced with red stone. We are also asking shopkeepers to remove encroachment and metal shutters. The shops will now have sliding glass doors. We will not allow any extensions. All efforts are being made to restore the market's original look," said the ASI official on condition of anonymity. There are 32-arched two-storeyed bays on either side of the arcade. The shops, dating back to when the Red Fort was completed by emperor Shah Jahan in 1648, were meant for common people coming to the Mughal Durbar and the setting is a replica of a bazaar in Peshawar, according to historian Swapna Liddle. The author of Chandni Chowk: The Mughal City of Old Delhi, Liddle said that the market once had shops selling clothers and jewellery. It still draws buyers visiting the fort, but the shops now sell handicraft items, wooden articles, and other souvenirs.
