The Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) has imposed an environment compensation of Rs 5.5 lakh on the Delhi Tourism and Transportation Development Corporation Ltd (DTTDC) for choking the Yamuna’s flow with debris from the Signature Bridge.
A private agency, appointed by the DTTDC for construction of the bridge, has already deposited the amount.
“Environment compensation of Rs 5.5 lakh was imposed on DTTDC after it was found that debris from the bridge was obstructing the river’s flow. They have already paid the compensation. Much of the debris has been removed. Work is on to remove the remaining debris,” said Imran Hussain, environment minister of Delhi.
