NEW DELHI: The Arvind Kejriwal Government, in a major move to curb air pollution in the national capital, has issued a directive to run a special drive on the Construction and Demolition (C&D) portal from July 15 to 30 which was launched in 2021.
As of now, 600 sites have registered themselves on the portal.
Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) has been directed to ensure that all project sites are registered on the portal. Also, agencies that are responsible for building plan sanctions are required to ensure the project proponents get themselves registered, as stated by the government in the statement.
Environment Minister Gopal Rai said, “Self-registration of all sites more than 500 square meters on this portal is mandatory. This portal also facilitates all DPCC officials to conduct site inspections, submit reports online and levy and collect fines.”
Rai said that it was made mandatory for project proponents to register on the website, self-evaluate their adherence to the dust control regulations, and post the self-declaration form on a biweekly basis.
The government also made it necessary to install a video fence at the building site with remote connectivity.
The environment minister said, “Delhi Pollution Control Committee will take action against those project proponents who have not registered their construction and demolition sites on the C&D portal for self-assessment of dust control norms.”
“DPCC has been directed to compulsorily register the project proponents on the web portal, self-audit their compliance with dust control rules, and upload self-declaration forms on the portal on fortnightly basis,” he further added.
