Sonia Vihar plant in troubled waters again

... THE Union Urban Development Ministry is
considering a proposal to create two artificial lakes
in the National Capital Region to solve the problem of
water scarcity in Delhi... HUDCO had made the
presentation for creation of these two lakes to Union
Minister of State for Urban Development Ajay Maken on
June 12...
... The cost is to be recovered by commercialising
certain stretches of the Yamuna riverbed. This is the
only catch in the proposal. We dont know how feasible
this is, and whether the present as well as the future
Delhi Masterplan will permit this commercialization...
Maken pointed out that the Ministry is now in the
process of taking environmentalists on board to
examine the proposal ...

New Delhi, June 22: THE SUPREME Court today extended
by four weeks a Delhi High Court order staying the
eviction of dwellers of a slum cluster near Pragati

vacation bench of Justice A.R. Lakshmanan and Justice
Altmas Kabir on a petition filed by one Ram Niwas
Gupta and others of Nangla Machi slum cluster, who
challenged their removal in view of the Delhi Laws
(Special Provisions) Act, 2006 which provides for
moratorium on demolitions in the Capital for a year...
The bench directed that the petition be tagged along
with the petition challenging the said act and be
placed before the bench headed by Chief Justice Y.K.
Sabharwal.
