Gokul (name changed) is 67 and has spent all his life in Dhankot village, large parts of which remain submerged in water from the drain most months. Standing on the muddy bank, he looks across the vast expanse of still, dark water where, till a few days back, ‘Baguley’ or water birds were dancing around the cackling migratory birds, disturbing the perfect reflection of the blue sky and its milky clouds. “Years back, the waterbody used to make the soil so fertile that villagers grew watermelons here. Now, toxic sewage that flows into this nullah (drain) has polluted our agricultural land and we cannot cultivate anything. I would like a bund to come up in the area so that the land dries up,” he said, looking away.
Environmentalists see this move as the government going back on its words because after years of denying its existence, in 2016, the Haryana government submitted a brief to the National Green Tribunal (NGT) expressing its intention to notify 1,200 acres in Najafgarh as officially ‘wetland’, a label that would protect the eco-sensitive marshes from construction activities. This was a giant leap from its earlier claim that only a ‘low-lying area’ exists in Najafgarh.
Manu Bhatnagar from Indian National Trust for Art & Cultural Heritage (INTACH), who had filed a petition with NGT last year against the proposed embankment, said, “The government is absolutely backtracking on its stand. That is why we filed an execution application in April 2019 as the state government has not done anything yet to notify Najafgarh lake as a wetland. The proposed bund is contrary to notification of the wetland. There is a need to understand that the destruction of the wetland will have a major impact on the groundwater level in Delhi-NCR, apart from destroying the entire ecology.”
Although the land owners have a strong argument, several factors have led environmental experts to doubt their intentions. Firstly, the land these villagers own was originally part of the common pool, pieces of which they received through the process of consolidation. In the 1970s, Haryana government gave every villager private ownership of a piece of land from the common pool, all of which was previously owned by the Panchayat.
GURUGRAM: A housing society with over 700 flats here, constructed by the state-owned NBCC (India) Ltd, will be demolished after it was declared unsafe for habitation.
Confirming "structural and construction lapses", Deputy Commissioner of Gurugram Nishant Yadav on Wednesday announced that residents of Sector 37 D-based NBCC Green View society have been asked to vacate by March 1, following a meeting with 140 flat owners and NBCC (India) Ltd officials.
Yadav said the Government of India enterprise will provide alternate accommodation to the residents. It will also provide rent for those willing to move to flats of their choice with the same parameters, he said.
The decision to demolish the society comes days after a portion of a housing complex named Chintels Paradiso in Gurugram's Sector 109 collapsed, leaving two women dead.
