HC seeks Army's reply on allegations of deforestation in Central Ridge
The Morning Standard
|March 02, 2024
THE Delhi High Court on Friday asked the Army to respond to allegations of clearing a green patch on the Central Ridge in the cantonment area of the national capital.
-
Justice Tushar Rao Gedela, while dealing with a petition for preservation and conservation of the Ridge, asked the competent officer of the Army unit stationed there to file an affidavit and advised the military authorities against carrying out activities that may result in deforestation.
While the central government counsel denied tree-felling by the Army, the judge suggested that ameliorative measures like afforestation be carried out in the area, saying "in Delhi, every tree planted is more valuable than gold".
