The NGT ordered the Delhi government and other relevant authorities to reconsider its decision of hiking parking fees by four times.
The National Green Tribunal (NGT) on Saturday laid down riders by disallowing exemptions to women and two-wheelers while permitting implementation of odd-even car rationing scheme.
The NGT said no exemption will be given to 'any person or officer and two-wheelers' from its ambit. However, only emergency services such as ambulance and fire, vehicles carrying waste and CNG vehicles will be allowed to ply during the odd-even scheme.
The NGT ordered the Delhi government and other relevant authorities to reconsider its decision of hiking parking fees by four times.
"The hike in parking fees will only benefit contractors, and will stress people by encouraging them to park vehicles on roads, thus choking them further," the bench said, adding that the additional money collected would not reach the government.
The NGT said that all corporations and authorities of Delhi government should ensure that was no structural construction activity is carried on till November 14.
The bench also issued show cause notices to the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) and the National Buildings Construction Corporation (NBCC) saying that they should not be exempted from exemplary cost. It added that erring officials should be imprisoned for violating its order on putting a ban on construction activities.
"Corporations and the Delhi Development Authority shall post special forces at land filling sites to ensure that there is no fire at those sites. If any such incident comes to the notice, the concerned official will be personally liable to pay the environmental compensation," the bench said.
The bench constituted a team of officials from the CPCB and DPCC, and the special secretary of environment department of Delhi government, which will collect data of ambient air quality and analyse different parameters including PM levels, carbon monoxide among others.
