The National Campaign Committee for Central Legislation on Construction Labour has called the blanket ban on construction 'irrational', adding that the ban ought to be limited to demolition and excavation.

New Delhi: A construction workers’ body has moved the Supreme Court seeking ex-gratia relief schemes for daily workers who will suffer the loss of income due to the sudden complete ban on the sector’s activities imposed by NCR states to curb pollution caused by dust.

A blanket ban on construction activities, without identifying and excluding the ones which do not contribute towards air pollution is “irrational, arbitrary and whimsical”, said the petition filed by National Campaign Committee for Central Legislation on Construction Labour.

It alleged that despite having a dedicated corpus of Rs 2,700 crore, the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi has failed to frame any ex-gratia relief scheme for the building workers for the periods when they have to give up their work due to “sudden absolute blanket bans”.

“The Government of NCT of Delhi and Government of Haryana have failed to assess and identify the pollution-causing activities. It is submitted that ideally, the ban ought to be limited to activities such as demolition and excavation only.”
