    Construction ban reimposed in Delhi, city Govt to compensate workers


    After the Supreme Court order, Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai on Thursday said the city government has decided to re-impose the ban on construction and demolition activities.

    Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said the government will transfer Rs 5,000 to the accounts of each worker to help them tide over the financial crisis.

    It was only on Monday when the city government had lifted the ban on construction activities after air quality in the city improved marginally.


    “We have decided to ban construction and demolition activities again from Thursday. The reimposition of the ban will cause inconvenience to workers. So, we will provide them financial assistance. We have directed the Labour Department to prepare a plan in this regard,” Rai told PTI.


    The SC had on Wednesday reimposed the ban on construction activities in Delhi-NCR until further orders.


    Non-polluting construction activities such as plumbing work, interior decoration, electrical work and carpentry are allowed.


    The apex court had also asked authorities to use funds collected as labour cess for the welfare of construction workers to provide them subsistence for the duration of the ban.
