Green is the New Red Line for Setting up Restaurants

After Hauz Khas shock from NGT, eating-out industry wakes up to environment norms

Hauz Khas Village in south Delhi was deserted last weekend, thanks to Pankaj Sharma. The normally bustling warren of lanes lined with restaurants and boutiques was brought to a grinding halt by the National Green Tribunal (NGT), which insisted that any establishment not adhering to environmental regulations had to close. Some of them have reopened since then after promising to abide by the rules.

City’s greens are highly fragmented

Though Total Area Has Climbed To 20%, Forests Are Mostly On The Outskirts

The government has been congratulating itself on how Delhi’s green cover has increased over the years from 1.48% in 1993 to about 20% in 2011. However, these forests are highly fragmented. Delhi has little islands of forest, especially in the fringe areas, but that doesn’t help in enriching biodiversity or maintaining the health of the forests.
