Hearing a plea by the Delhi University, the National Green Tribunal today halted the proposed construction of a residential complex next to its North Campus. The university had challenged the environmental clearance granted to the project, which is being built by Young Builders Pvt Ltd. Newslaundry has reported how the public land on which the building is proposed to be built was likely illegally sold to private interests.
When construction work started on the skyscraper in November, it was met with a series of protests by Delhi University’s student and teachers.
