The Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) in NCR and Adjoining Areas on February 20, 2024, directs all agencies in NCR responsible for issuance of Completion Certificate (CC)/ Occupancy Certificate (OC) not to issue CC/OC to any project against which "Closure" direction issued by CAQM is pending.
The following has been stated:
• It has been advised to rely on the list of entities, while considering applications for grant of CC/OC, whose resumptions orders are yet to be issued (list updated every week) at the Commission's official website, i.e. https://caqm.nic.in/ before considering applications for grant of CC/OC.
• It has been advised to ensure that all building plan sanctions, tender notices, contract documents, agreements etc. in these sectors incorporate the provisions of rules, directions, guidelines and safeguards, for compliance towards effective mitigation of dust during the execution of such projects. These agencies may also consider stipulating quality benchmarks for this attribute in the contracts, duly calling for appropriate penal provisions and measures for environmental compensation in case of non-compliance. Regular inspection during the execution of projects should monitor and ensure compliance with dust control rules, guidelines and directions issued by the Commission in this regard.
