NGT Directs DDA and Flood Control Department to Resolve Yamuna Floodplain Demarcation Dispute
The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has directed the Delhi government to hold a joint meeting between the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) and the Irrigation and Flood Control (IFC) Department within a week to resolve disputes over demarcating the Yamuna floodplains between Wazirabad and Okhla barrages. The DDA began installing boundary bollards based on an initial map but suspended work after the IFC sent a revised map. The NGT seeks explanations for the revised map and has scheduled the next hearing for September 18, 2026.
