Noida Authority to ensure that societies comply with NGT's order

An official said that the experts would also test water samples collected from group housing societies to ensure that polluted water is not being discharged.

CEO of Noida Authority, Ritu Maheshwari, directed the general manager to select a private environmental agency by 15 March. The penalties recovered from the group housing societies would pay the agency.

The four developers are Assotech Windsor Court, Skytech Construction Private Limited, Gardenia India Limited and Futec Shelters Private Limited.

The OC given to Skytech Construction Private Limited has also been cancelled, while the OCs have not been granted to the remaining three societies.

Resampling of water from 55 sewage treatment plants (STPs), of which 72 functional ones in 95 group housing societies in the city is concerned.
