The ban on construction in Delhi will now continue till November 21, after the latest directions issued by the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) on Tuesday evening, but with several exemptions.
The CAQM, in its directives, has exempted projects related to railway services, Metro, airports and inter-state bus terminals as well as those related to national security and defence.
For the national capital, the exemptions would mean that the ongoing work on Metro’s phase-4 expansion and the elevated cross-taxiway, a new runway and Terminal-2 at the Delhi airport could continue.
However, the halt on work at other key infrastructure projects aimed at decongesting city’s arterial stretches will go on.
