Third plea against DLF phase1 waste centre in NGT

GURUGRAM: Residents of DLF-1 filed a third petition towards the MCG and Ecogreen Energy Pvt Ltd, the company appointed by it for development built-in waste control plant, within the National Green Tribunal (NGT) on Friday.
They alleged while MCG had transferred the land to Ecogreen for development the waste transfer centre in Khasra quantity 482, the plant is being developed at Khasra quantity 483, which comes under the 'gair mumkin pahar', a secure forest zone under a notification of the Ministry of Environment and Forest (MoEF) in 1992.

"It is a criminal act to construct on the protected and without the permission from the MoEF, hence we have moved the green court with the petition," said Ravindra Yadav, some of the petitioners. The petition used to be filed within the court on Friday and the criticism quantity is OA 21 (2018).

Yadav added that the matter could be heard on Monday. There are 3 more petitioners within the case from DLF segment -one and Silver Oaks Apartments. The Haryana state pollution keep an eye on board and the forest department are also respondents within the case.

This is the 3rd case that the citizens from DLF segment 1 have filed towards the upcoming waste transfer station of their neighbourhood. The first two instances had been for the development of waste transfer centre in Aravali zone and the truth that building of the waste transfer centre obstructs a natural drain.

According to the MCG officers, the hearing of the primary case is anticipated to take place on January 25. " The matter is now in the NGT and we will not be able to make any comments on the matter as it is in the court," said joint commissioner, MCG, Y.S Gupta.


The waste transfer centre has been a bone of rivalry between the citizens, MCG officers and the appointed company. The citizens have adversarial the waste transfer quoting environmental causes and the truth that a waste transfer centre next to the residential space would be a watch sore and a cause of stench.


TOI had previous reported that the citizens from DLF 1 had expressed discontent over the positioning of a waste transfer centre being developed within the vicinity in their residential society claiming that the middle would be a nuisance for the citizens residing next to the centre.


"The waste collection centre is placed right next to our houses and once the garbage starts piling up, it would be a huge problem for the people living in the area," said some of the citizens from the neighbourhood.
