CDA fails to enforce environment protection laws
Capital Development Authority (CDA) has failed to enforce Environmental Protection Regulations (EPRs), 2008, since its issuance last month. The EPRs were issued on July 30 to conserve environment and keep the city clean. People, especially those living in downscale areas, are however flouting them with impunity. The CDA's Environment Directorate too seems least bothered about enforcing the regulations, as no action has been initiated against their violators so far.
