New Delhi:  Over 70 budget hotels near New Delhi's IGI Airport can heave a sigh of relief as the National Green Tribunal (NGT) has cleared the decks for their reopening after they were shut down for lack of requisite permission.

A bench, headed by NGT Chairperson Justice Swatanter Kumar, passed a slew of directions after Mahilpalpur Association of Hotels and Guest Houses filed an affidavit stating they would voluntarily close down and file a fresh application before the Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) for consent to operate.

Applying the "polluter pays" principle to hotels/guest houses for operating without permission from Central Ground Water Authority and other departments. NGT also imposed a fine on them which will be used for restoration of environment in the area.
