The Central Vista project was proceeding ‘full steam’ despite the re-imposition of building ban by the Supreme Court, says petition.
The Supreme Court on November 29 asked the Centre to clear the air on construction activities in areas falling within its domain in the National Capital amidst clamour in court that the Central Vista project was proceeding “full steam” despite the re-imposition of building ban by the Supreme Court to loosen pollution’s iron grip on Delhi.
A Special Bench led by Chief Justice of India N.V. Ramana directed the Centre to respond by December 2, the next day of hearing.
“Despite your [Supreme Court’s] ban, the Central Vista work is going on... Lives of people should be more important than the Central Vista! The Central Vista work is on full steam right under the nose of the Supreme Court,” senior advocate Vikas Singh, for the petitioner side, submitted forcefully.
