HC stays tree felling in Vasant Kunj

NEW DELHI: Responding to concerns expressed by local residents the Delhi high court has stayed felling of trees on a road in Vasant Kunj area.

The trees were supposed to pave the way for a proposed widening of a major road.

Justice Rajiv Shakdher made it clear that Public Works Department should not cut any trees on the road and status quo must be maintained. HC is hearing a plea by local residents objecting to cutting of trees arguing it will only shrink the green space and contribute to traffic and chaos. The residents argue as per the plan of UTTIPEC cutting of only 226 trees has been approved, while PWD wants to remove 810 trees.

HC also issued notice to UTTIPEC, forest department and PWD and sought their response by February 19. It also asked UTTIPEC and the forest department to produce plans and keep all the records available before the next date of hearing. The stretch of road in question, extends from Andheria Mod to Fortis Hospital crossing.
