New Delhi: Even when Yamuna continues to suffer, with pointing toxic accumulates on the surface and tons of waste entering the river every day, the flood places fight by itself.
While there are many directives in the past, including the rating of the National Green Court recently, on the floodland which was released from all encroachment and was given protection in the form of security guards, CCTV cameras and limit walls and signs that describe the floodland area, colonies invalid.
And encroachment continues to remove whatever land left on the road.
With the design of the Master Delhi 2041 plan see replacing the Yamuna flood zone to two parts and may allow the existing unauthorized colonies to live in the O-II zone, experts say the river ecosystem can be at risk.
Toi took a ride along the plains of Yamuna floods on Wednesday and found no many has changed in the years since the order to regulate activities in the appointed area and to ban agriculture there.
While NGT, in 2015 was originally and again in 2019, forbidden agriculture to the plains of the flood, citing studies conducted by various institutions about vegetables that were planted there were potentially toxic due to polluted water, TOI observed plant cultivation in Geeta Colony, Madanpur Khadar and Jaitpur.
While the initial fear of orders, driven by drive encroachment, did get rid of the yamuna floodland from a number of farmers, two years later, their anxiety seemed to disappear.
Kumari, who fostered the cauliflower near Geeta Colony, said it was the only source of income for their families and they had to survive in activities in the forbidden area.
“That pandemic makes it even more difficult to get money.
We don’t have other sources of income,” he said.
However, agriculture, at least from fears of floodland.
From the car park to homes that stand three and four floors, unauthorized colonies continue to grow in the Zone of the River-O.
Legally, there are no commercial or construction activities that can occur in zone-o because this raises risk not only in the floodland ecology, but also UPS potential flooding.
Toi find unauthorized colonies in Jamia Nagar have now stretched all the way to the banks of the river adjacent to the latest Biological Park where Delhi authorities located in Kalindi Kunj.
According to MPD41 draft, the O-I zone of the floodland consists of 6,295 hectares and is an ‘active’ flood zone.
The O-II zone, all 3,684 hectares, will be ‘riverfront’, with the development set.
While a total of 76 unauthorized colonies have submitted ownership under the unauthorized colony of Pradhan Mantri in Delhi watch out Adhikar Yojana, 71 from the fall below the O-II zone, maybe paving for their legalization.
Yasir Arafat, who is responsible for the Biodiversity Park Kalindi Kunjung, said, “The Enclave Fazal Abul and Jamia Nagar now extends to the floodland,” Arafat said.
“We clean up garbage from nearby garden and walls will soon be prevented to prevent encroachment.
The floodland has also been clearly limited by signs.” In the extension of Jaitpur, the building stands closer to the river, sometimes only 500 meters from it.
Toi found some newly built houses and new construction that occurred.
The limited limit well proven this structure is in the plains of Yamuna floods.
Residents, however, reply to charges.
“This land is a bit far from the plains of the floods.
Water does not even reach the first set of houses, especially our homes,” Dinesh Kumar argued.
Manoj Mishra, Convener of Yamuna Jiye Abhiyan, was disappointed at the Lax implementation of the NGT assessment.
“As far as I know, encroachment has just been removed in Bela Estate, south of the old railroad bridge, where the farm is rife,” Mishra said.
Some farmers were also removed from the Commonwealth Village Games, while some Jhuggis near the new Biodiversity Park was destroyed.
But there are no actions taken about unauthorized colonies or larger structures.
“Mishra said the multiplicity of landowners’ institutions only made it easier to blame the action.” Jaitpur, where there is a violation of Brazen, under Delhi’s government, so Dda can easily ignore encroachment there, “he said.
Likewise, north of the barrage Wazirabad, the land belongs to the Delhi government, while land along Jalan Link Noida is also under the jurisdiction of the upper irrigation department.
Little Action has occurred in these places.
“When asked about this, DDA officials responded,” every time encroachment in Yamuna floodland comes to our notification, we take the right action in accordance with the commitment guidelines for NGT and DDA to eliminate encroachment from the flood.
