Never repeat tree-felling in Ridge, says SC
Hindustan Times
|November 08, 2024
We will direct them to restore the 1,670 trees, ideally in the ridge, and as reparation replant 100 trees (saplings) for each tree cut.
The Supreme Court on Thursday said the "breach" committed by the Delhi Development of Authority (DDA) in chopping down 1,670 trees in the Ridge area in Delhi should not be allowed to happen ever again, and proposed to put in place a mechanism to prevent such violations.
Posting the matter for Friday, a bench headed by Chief Justice of India (CJI) Dhananjaya Y Chandrachud said, "We have found the breach in this contempt petition.
More importantly, we need to see what safeguards we should put in place to obviate such breaches in future.' The court was hearing a contempt petition filed by Delhi resident Bindu Kapurea against the vice chairman of DDA for chopping down more than 1,100 trees in Satbari Ridge in south Delhi for a road widening project leading to CAPFIMS multi-specialty hospital for paramilitary forces and other institutions in Chhatarpur.
