Noting that the Ridge belongs to the people of Delhi and the forest department cannot deal with it in a cursory manner or consider it a personal fiefdom, the Delhi high court on Wednesday rebuked the department for constructing a 6-8-metre-wide trail in the Central Ridge area without obtaining permission from the Ridge Management Board (RMB).

HC: Ridge not personal fiefdom of forest dept

The court, while considering a plea concerning the well-being of the Ridge, also pulled up the department for their proposal to host an event involving a walkathon, a cyclathon, and a half marathon inside the notified Asola Bhatti Wildlife Sanctuary, and said being its custodian the department was only required to supervise the conservation of the things existing there.
