NGT Orders Removal of Encroachments and Restoration of Southwest Delhi Pond
The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has directed authorities to remove encroachments from a pond in southwest Delhi's Kanganheri village and restore it to its original size and shape. The tribunal's October 13 order follows a 2022 application addressing encroachments on the 13 bighas and 10 biswas pond. The NGT emphasized protecting the remaining pond area and adding cleared encroached land back to the water body. It also noted that a permanent boundary wall obstructed rainwater flow, urging corrective measures.
