Gurugram On the first day of the implementation of the Graded Response Action Plan (Grap), the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and two of its contractors were issued a show-cause notice for not taking anti-pollution measures at the construction site of the 21-kilometre highway project from Rajiv Chowk to Sohna, officials said.
Pollution board officials said they received a complaint about the constant haze on the road and surrounding areas due to dust from the construction work, at several spots where the construction is going on.
An inspection on Monday revealed non-compliance of the ministry of environment and forest’s 2010 guidelines, which state instructions on how to protect the ambient environment while carrying out construction.
