Supreme Court allows redevelopment of central vista but with riders
Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed the government to go ahead with the ‘central vista project’, which aims to redevelop the Parliament area and government offices around it. The permission, however, comes with several riders. The court while granting a green signal to the redevelopment project upheld the notification of a change in land use as well as the recommendations made by the environment ministry. “The exercise of power under the DDA Act is just and valid. The recommendations of environmental clearance by the ministry of the environment are just, valid and proper and we uphold the same,” said Justice AM Khanwilkar. In the backdrop of concerns raised about the environmental impact of the construction in the central vista area, the apex court directed the project proponent to install smog tower and use anti-smog guns at all construction sites.
