Speak up Delhi: Residential areas pay price for insidious growth of industries

Delhi | Monday | 17th December, 2018

Summary:

Now the city has become home to hundreds of unauthorised industrial units running in narrow passages and serpentine lanes of residential areas. However, of late, things have turned worse with these factories making their way into residential areas. When DNA did a ground report in West Delhi, it found that with illegal factories rooted everywhere, the demarcation between commercial area and residential area has dissolved. Though DSIIDC has instructed the municipal corporations to take strict action against these illegal factories and despite several complaints by residents, things have not changed. This has not only created chaos for people living in the areas, but also death traps for the poor labourers working there..
