New Delhi: National Green Tribunal (NGT) has ordered a fresh joint inspection of 36 alleged unauthorised industrial units in east Delhi ’s Gamri village, directing authorities to revisit premises that were found locked during earlier inspections.
Previous inspections conducted by officials of the Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC), Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), BSES and Delhi Police could not ascertain the nature of activities at some premises as they were found locked. MCD informed the tribunal that it would take action provided adequate police protection, including personnel equipped with body cameras, was made available.
In an order dated Oct 14, a principal bench headed by NGT chairperson Justice Prakash Shrivastava and expert member Dr Afroz Ahmad directed the inspection committee to revisit the units named in the case and submit its report at least a week before the next hearing on Feb 3, 2027.
