The Supreme Court appointed Central Empowered Committee (CEC), on Friday, ordered to stop the progress work of the construction Ambedkar Park in Noida with immediate effect for violating environmental laws.

The Mayawati administration is building the Bhimrao Ambedkar Park in Noida with an estimated total cost of Rs 550 crore on the banks of the River Yamuna.

As per sources, the committee headed by former Union Environment Secretary P.V. Jayakrishna,is understood to have conveyed to the SC that the project does not have the necessary environmental authorization.

The Court will take its decision on the recommendations by the coming week.

However, the Uttar Pradesh government alleged that the Central Government is trying to hinder the dream projects of Mayawati.
