‘State government of Uttar Pradesh shall furnish all help including police aid for removal of debris from the site in question,’ a bench headed by <span data-style="border-bottom: 1px solid #0000FF !important;text-decoration:underline !important;color:#0000FF !important">NGT chairperson Swatanter Kumar
said.

‘NCT of Delhi shall also provide all help including police said,’ it said and added that the DMRC, <span data-style="border-bottom: 1px solid #0000FF !important;text-decoration:underline !important;color:#0000FF !important">the state of UP and SSP Gautam Budh Nagar shall also be responsible for carrying out the order.

The tribunal passed the order when DMRC apprised the bench that it has removed some 23,281 metric ton of debris from places near Yamuna Bank Metro Station but 4,700 MT of debris could not be removed as it is surrounded by ‘jhuggis’ (shanties) and it is difficult for them to remove it. ‘Why don’t you take police help,’ the tribunal asked the counsel appearing for DMRC and then ordered that police aid be provided and the remaining debris be also removed.
