The National Green Tribunal has directed that building projects in Greater Noida and Noida, not having the requisite clearances, will not be allowed to proceed with the construction activities. The green body was hearing a plea regarding the alleged unauthorised and illegal construction of houses, shops and other commercial and residential complexes in Greater Noida and Noida, which violated environmental norms . The plea also alleged that some realtors were illegally extracting the topsoil, besides operating unauthorised borewells.
In an order dated December 9, a bench of NGT Chairperson Justice Prakash Shrivastava said, "Authorities concerned have filed their replies which reveal that some of the project proponents (realtors) are continuing with the construction without obtaining Consent to Establish (CTE), Consent to Operate (CTO) and Environmental Clearance (EC)." "Since it has been submitted that large-scale illegal construction without following environmental norms is in progress, therefore, we direct that till the next date of hearing, concerned authorities of the state and pollution control board will ensure that a project requiring EC/CTE/CTO but not heaving these clearances are not permitted to proceed with the construction illegally till it complies with all the requisite environmental norms and clearances," said the bench also comprising judicial member Justice Sudhir Agarwal and expert member A Senthil Vel. The tribunal also directed the Uttar Pradesh Pollution Control Board to prevent illegal plotting in the area falling in the floodplain zones.

"We have placed extensive material on record to demonstrate how huge constructions are coming up every day. Photographs show how electricity poles are being erected in illegal colonies and borewells are being dug without the mandatory no objection certificates (NOCs)," he said. The petition filed by BJP leader and former Municipal Corporator Rajendra Tyagi lists 56 villages of Greater Noida and 18 villages in Noida having unauthorised colonies and townships.
It alleges that over 20,000 hectares of fertile arable farmlands in Greater Noida have been usurped while more than 20,000 hectares of land in Noida is being used for illegal plotting. (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel ).
