The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has ordered the Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) to stop building a bus terminal in Najafgarh due to encroachment on a water body. The NGT found the DTC constructing the terminal and a commercial building on land designated as a water body, violating environmental regulations. The District Magistrate confirmed no construction clearances were issued for the project. The NGT cited violations of the Wetlands (Conservation and Management) Rules, 2017, and granted the DTC two weeks to respond to the order.
