Former Mayor of East
Delhi Municipal Corporation Annapurna Mishra has demanded that the Delhi
Government appeal against the National Green Tribunal (NGT) order for
evacuation of all unauthorised constructions alongside the Yamuna.
The environmental
watchdog had on Monday directed the governments of Haryana, Delhi and Uttar
Pradesh to clear all concrete illegal structures from the notified
no-development zones on the Yamuna floodplains. In a statement issued on
Wednesday, Ms. Mishra said: “In Delhi alone more than 40 lakh people live in
areas close to the Yamuna, whose survival will be threatened by the NGT order,
if it were to be implemented. These people have not carried out any
encroachment,” she said.
