Unhappy over Delhi government not initiating proper action against illegal and unauthorized borewells operating in the capital, National Green Tribunal has sought the presence of senior officials of Delhi Jal Board on the next date of hearing. A bench headed by NGT chairperson Justice Swatanter Kumar passed the order, saying the report submitted by Delhi government on illegal use of groundwater by borewells was unsatisfactory. “The report on behalf of the NCT of Delhi has been filed. The report is unsatisfactory and does not indicate what action has been taken in relation to illegal and unauthorized borewells operating in the city. “We fail to understand why the committee concerned did not initiate proper action. The deputy commissioners and member of DJB shall be present before the tribunal on the next date of hearing,” the bench said. The matter will be taken up on April 23. AGENCIES
