[h=1]Farmhouses flouting norms to get 48 hours to reply or be sealed[/h] [h=2]A monitoring committee formed by the apex court found 'large-scale' misuse during an inspection this week.[/h] DELHI Updated: Sep 22, 2018 03:42 IST [IMG]https://www.hindustantimes.com/images/app-images/ht/default_author.png[/IMG] Ashish Mishra Hindustan Times, New Delhi [IMG]https://www.hindustantimes.com/rf/image_size_960x540/HT/p2/2018/09/22/Pictures/triple-murder_4b660f10-bdeb-11e8-95ec-91800d079bb4.jpg[/IMG] The directions came after an inspection of a number of farmhouses by the committee on Wednesday where it found "large-scale" misuse and unauthorised constructions. The committee has also sought a compliance report from the civic bodies by September 28. (HT FILE PHOTO) The Supreme Court appointed-monitoring committee has tightened its noose on farmhouses and motels in the Delhi, which are rented out for weddings and parties violating land use norms. The committee has directed municipal corporations to seal such premises after issuing them notices with a 48-hour deadline. The directions came after an inspection of a number of farmhouses by the committee on Wednesday where it found "large-scale" misuse and unauthorised constructions. The committee has also sought a compliance report from the civic bodies by September 28. The south Delhi municipal corporation (SDMC) had on Thursday evening sealed the Tivoli Garden Resort in the Chhatarpur area after directions from the committee, which had found violations at the property on Wednesday during inspection. In an official communication sent to the three municipal corporations and the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) on Thursday, the monitoring committee said that it noticed large scale violations in the farmhouses and motels falling under the jurisdiction of the SDMC and the North Delhi municipal corporation. "The owners and occupiers of these motels and farmhouses have constructed huge air-conditioned pandals and sheds in their plots without permission from the municipal corporation or the fire department. These are being used for holding social functions," the communiqué dated September 20 said. There are more than 100 farmhouses across the national capital used for hosting weddings and parties. Civic officials said that there are 36 farmhouses in the south zone and the Najafgarh zone of SDMC and 31 under the jurisdiction of the North Corp. The monitoring committee said that the basements of these properties were found being used for commercial purposes "in violation of permitted use" as per sanctioned plan, which was permitted for parking services only. "The monitoring committee has decided that all the farm houses and motels which are in violation of the sanctioned building plan and completion plan be sealed immediately after issuing notices giving 48 hours (excepting holidays) time for reply as to why the farm houses and motels premises being misused should not be sealed," the communication said. The committee had started a sealing drive in December last year and since then several properties including restaurants, shops, farmhouses have been sealed for violating norms. The municipal corporations said they will issue notices to the owners of the farm houses from Monday. Officials from the north and south corporations said that a survey would be conducted to find out the number of properties where norms were flouted. They said notices would be served to the erring farmhouses consequently. "The directions of the monitoring committee on the sealing issue would be followed. The sealing of farm houses which are misusing the property would be sealed if they fail to respond to the notices within 48 hours from Monday," an SDMC official not authorised to speak to the media, said. When contacted, Tivoli Garden Resort refused to comment.

[h=1]Delhi's air quality turns 'good' for second time this year: CPCB data[/h] [h=2]The PM10 level (presence of particles with diameter less than 10mm) was recorded as 'good' at 46 in Delhi-NCR and Delhi.[/h] DELHI Updated: Sep 22, 2018 21:43 IST [IMG]https://www.hindustantimes.com/images/app-images/ht/default_author.png[/IMG] Press Trust of India New Delhi [IMG]https://www.hindustantimes.com/rf/image_size_960x540/HT/p2/2018/09/22/Pictures/delhi_a476a4f6-be78-11e8-95ec-91800d079bb4.jpg[/IMG] Vehicular emissions are one of the major causes of air pollution in Delhi.(File Photo)[LIST][/LIST]Delhi's air quality turned 'good' Saturday, for the second time this year due to persistent monsoon that washed away pollutants from the air, according to authorities. The overall Air Quality Index of New Delhi was recorded at 48 which falls under the "good" category, as per the data of the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). The improvement in air quality is due to incessant rains that have washed away pollutants from the air, a CPCB official said. An AQI in the range of 0-50 is considered 'Good', 51-100 'Satisfactory', 101-200 'Moderate', 201-300 'Poor', 301-400 'Very Poor' and 401-500 'Severe'. The PM10 level (presence of particles with diameter less than 10mm) was recorded as 'good' at 46 in Delhi-NCR and Delhi. The PM2.5 level (presence of particles with diameter less than 2.5 mm) was 23 in Delhi-NCR and 22 in Delhi on Friday, according to the Central Pollution Control Board data. This is the second time this year that the quality of air fell in the 'good' category. Earlier on July 28, the onset of monsoon in Delhi had cleansed the air, bringing it in the 'good' category.

[h=1]NDMC launches 'plogging' drive in city[/h] [URL="https://www.thehindu.com/profile/author/Ivjyot-Singh-Oberoi/"][IMG]https://www.thehindu.com/static/theme/default/base/img/author-deafault.png[/IMG][/URL][URL="https://www.thehindu.com/profile/author/Ivjyot-Singh-Oberoi/"]Ivjyot Singh Oberoi[/URL] NEW DELHI, SEPTEMBER 23, 2018 00:00 IST UPDATED: SEPTEMBER 23, 2018 04:31 IST [h=2]To sync walking and cleaning[/h] A "plogging drive" to inculcate a habit of picking up litter from path while walking or jogging among citizens was launched by New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) on Saturday. The teams participating in the drive were flagged off by Secretary, Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, Durga Shankar Mishra at Janpath. Mr. Mishra said that it was time to sync together the two good habits of walking and cleaning and make India s [I]wachh[/I] (clean) and s [I]wasth[/I] (healthy) [I].[/I] He further appealed to the citizens to follow the activity of "plogging" and help the government in spreading the same in the society. The "plogging drive", as told by NDMC Secretar Rashmi Singh, is a part of the 'Swachhta-hi-Sewa Pakhwada', which is being celebrated on the occasion of 4th Anniversary of the 'Swachh Bharat Mission'. Ms. Singh, after administrating the 'Swachhta Pledge' to the participants present in the drive, stressed upon the need to make this activity a part of their routine. She said that even if the activity is not followed on a daily basis, if followed once a week or once a month, it brings about a perceptible change and becomes a source of motivation for others. The event also saw participation of schoolchildren in the form of [I]nukkad natak[/I](street play) centring around the theme of "Swachhta".

[h=1]Old Delhi haveli owners express concern over 'heritage' status[/h] [h=2]Several haveli owners complained they had "not been made partners" during the policy-making process for preservation.

They claimed the havelis has been handed over "heritage" tags by civic authorities without their consultation. (Ravi Choudhary/ Hindustan Times) Owners of havelis in Old Delhi on Saturday expressed concerns over the government-accorded "heritage" tag to their properties with several claiming they had never been consulted before the decision was made. These concerns were flagged during a workshop titled 'Conservation of Heritage Buildings in Shahjahanabad' organised jointly by the North Delhi Municipal Corporation (North MCD) and Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage (INTACH) at Town Hall in Chandni Chowk on Saturday. The event was targeted at answering haveli owners' queries on issues like the due process for seeking permission to carry out repair and restoration of notified heritage structures. During the discussion, several haveli owners complained they had "not been made partners" during the policy-making process for preservation. They claimed the havelis has been handed over "heritage" tags by civic authorities without their consultation. Several others questioned the efforts by civic authorities to improve infrastructure in area. While the haveli owners claimed the tag would not benefit them, architectural experts at the event maintained that such "heritage status" would be an "asset and not a liability" and would help in improving tourism in the area. "The civic agencies are expecting us to follow the traditional norms for restoring havelis and bear the entire expense. They should understand that renovating havelis in the traditional manner is a cumbersome and expensive process. We are not in a position to spend so much money," said Anand Prakash Bansal, who owns a haveli in Kucha Ghasiram area of Old Delhi. "Zero efforts have been taken by civic agencies to resolve the issues of traffic congestion, illegal construction, dilapidated sewage system, drains and overhead hanging electricity wires in area. In the given circumstances, even if we renovate our havelis as per government norms, tourists wouldn't come here," said Ram Dutt Aggarwal, another haveli owner. However, a senior North MCD official said that the government and civic agencies are on verge of finalising various development projects for Shahjahanabad. "But these can only be implemented when people deposit conversion charges and property taxes in large numbers. At main Chandni Chowk Road, department concerned has already initiated task to tightened low overhead hanging wires," RK Gupta, chief engineer, north corporation. Ruchika Katyal, deputy commissioner of North Delhi Municipal Corporation's City-Sadar Paharganj Zone, however, insisted that the corporation has been working to simplify the process for renovating havelis. "To get their renovation plans sanctioned, haveli owners need not to go anywhere. They just need to apply with our zonal offices and our officials will forward the plan to the town planner and the heritage conservation committee for the final approvals," said Katyal. Swapna Liddle, convener of INTACH's Delhi chapter, said, "The efforts taken by the north corporation is appreciable by bringing different stakeholders on one platform. But we need to understand the situation patiently. We expect that more such events need to be organised in future." Meanwhile, other experts advised the north civic body to consider rebooting its 'heritage cell', constituted years back to deal with such issues. The cell had become redundant after 2012, when the Delhi's municipal corporations were divided into three parts. At the workshop, Navin Piplani, principal director, INTACH heritage academy, said preservation of built heritage can be incentivised through tax benefits or other revenue-generating model. Currently, there are 783 heritage structures, including 229 historical buildings and 325 havelis, identified and notified by the authorities.
