New Delhi: The order of the Delhi government to lift the prohibition of construction activities may only benefit some because the entry of trucks to the city is still not allowed.
Trucks are a lifeline of every construction work as a material brought by them from neighboring countries.
Because construction material cannot be stored in large quantities in most sites, stable needs are needed to start working after a ban during weeks.
Inder Kohli, a resident of Kalkaji and a builder, said the ban had a ripple effect not only at the seller agent, but also an unregotured sector associated with construction activities.
“We support government initiatives to reduce air pollution, but there are many factors that contribute to the cause.
Only prohibiting construction activities at the last time or in a period of crisis will not serve the long-term goals.
Conversely, it will cause the major financial losses for developers, delaying Completion of the project and affect the economy, “Kohli added.
The broker said the community was grateful that construction is now permissible, but the entry of trucks is still prohibited.
“We cannot store construction materials because it will cause pollution.
This will automatically increase project costs,” he added.
The contractor said if the workers sat quietly, they could dissolve or return to their hometown.
Bablu Chaudhary, a contractor from Jawahar Nagar, said construction material is available in several local markets, but at a higher price.
“Now the ban has been appointed, we have decided to start construction work after buying material at a higher cost.
This will cause financial losses, but we do not want workers to disperse.
If they are not paid regularly or do not have jobs, then they are Will leave the site.
Find it again in sufficient quantities will lead to further losses, “Chaudhary added.
Civil officials said they had continued government orders to contractors and asked them to continue work with available materials.
“Except for small repair work, such as painting, repairing sanitary goods and wall repairs, it is impossible to work in the main construction site in full.
Even though cement and steel can be bought because they are taken to the train, there are shortcomings in other materials in the local market Because of the ban which was forced a week ago, “said a North Delhi Municipal corporate official.
“It is difficult for contractors who work on major projects to get material, which is why we ask them to carry out limited construction activities until the ban is fully lifted,” added the official.
A senior Municipal Senior Municipal official said the ban was likely to be appointed at the end of this week.
