Delhi Govt Imposes Fine On FICCI For Flouting Pollution Control Norms

On account of violating pollution control norms, the Delhi government on October 10 charged the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) a sum of ₹20 lakh. Reportedly, the violation was noticed at a FICCI site, which was being demolished without the use of an anti-smog gun despite several warnings from the Delhi Pollution Control Committee. The state's Environment Minister warned contractors of severe actions if the norms were violated.
