Hindustan Times Uttarakhand|January 09, 2025
The Delhi Jal Board (DJB) has informed the National Green Tribunal (NGT) that it has identified at least 20,625 illegal borewells across the Capital, and directions to seal them have been issued to district magistrates (DMs) in the respective areas in a bid to prevent groundwater extraction.

NEW DELHI:

The water utility agency said it also plans to impose penalties on illegal groundwater extraction, and the process to finalize the same is underway and an approval from the Delhi government's environment department is awaited.

DJB's submission came in response to two petitions filed in 2022 on illegal groundwater extraction in parts of the Capital impacting the groundwater table level. The tribunal had on August 28, 2024 sought details from DJB on the status of such borewells and action being taken against them.
