Traders and transporters of Delhi have decided to file a review petition in National Green Tribunal (NGT) itself against the ban on loading and unloading of trucks in Delhi’s congested markets.
At a meeting held by various trader and transporter associations in Steel Chamber, Hauz Qazi on Friday, the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) and Delhi Goods Transport Association (DGTA) decided that the confederation will file an application in NGT against the ban. And not only that, the traders will also intervene in NGT’s April 27 hearing on the same issue.
Earlier, the hearing was supposed to happen on April 22 and at that time as well, the confederation was planning to intervene. However, it was postponed to April 27.
Further at the meeting, it was also decided that the traders will also give a
memorandum each to all the MlAs and MPs of Delhi, apprising them of the problems that they have been facing in functioning in Delhi implying the malaise to be a truckload of hypocrisy.
At the meeting, Praveen Khandelwal, Devraj Baweja, Rajinder Gupta, Satender Jain, Ram lal and Gyan Prakash Gupta were present.
NGT had earlier issued an order to ban loading and unloading of lorries in congested commercial markets like lajpat Nagar, Karol Bagh, South Extension, Nehru Place and Chandni Chowk.
