NGT Compliance Breach: Cheema Chowk Public Park Converted into Commercial Hub

An investigation reveals a significant breach of National Green Tribunal (NGT) regulations at Cheema Chowk, where a designated public recreational space has been systematically repurposed for commercial operations. Originally developed to serve residents in a densely populated industrial zone, the park now hosts desks, equipment, and routine commercial activities, directly contravening its intended public use and violating environmental safeguards. This unauthorized conversion not only undermines community access to green spaces but also sets a concerning precedent for urban planning compliance. Analysis indicates that such deviations from NGT norms could exacerbate local environmental stress and diminish quality of life in already congested areas. Authorities must address this infringement promptly to uphold regulatory integrity and restore public trust in urban governance frameworks.
