New Delhi, Sep.21 (ANI): The Industries Department and the Delhi State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation has given a list of allottees of industrial units under the Relocation Scheme to the Municipal Corporation of Delhi with a request to take necessary action for closure of these industrial units if they continue to function in residential and non-conforming areas.
The list of allottees under the Relocation Scheme is also available in websites of the Industries Department and the DSIIDC.
In 1996, the Supreme of India in public interest litigation of M.C. Mehta Vs. Union of India and others directed to close down industrial units functioning in residential / non-conforming areas of Delhi.
To avoid large scale unemployment of workers, other related problems and on humanitarian ground, the apex court agreed to a Delhi Government proposal to relocate industries from residential / non-conforming areas to conforming zones by developing new industrial areas and flatted factory complexes.
Accordingly, the state government developed new industrial areas at Bawana and Bhorgarh and also utilized the existing industrial lands at Narela, Jhilmil, Badli and Patparganj to relocate the affected industrial units. he Delhi Industries Department allotted industrial plots and flatted factories to 22,499 industrial units functioning in residential and non-conforming areas under the Scheme of Relocation of the Delhi Government.
The Joint Commissioner (Industries) of the Delhi Government also said in a media release that adequate time had been given to these industries to construct factories and relocate to the approved industrial areas. (ANI)
