GMDA to fell 686 trees to complete road construction
Hindustan TimesGurugram:To pave the way for completion and construction of three sector roads in the city, the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority has received permission from the forest department to fell 686 trees in Sector 102A/107, Sector 70A, and Sector 53/56 dividing roads, officials said on Monday. A senior GMDA official said that they have tried to ensure that minimum trees are felled for the construction of these roads, and they had even planned transplantation of few trees but the plan did not materialise as the trees could not be shifted. As per the tender, 462 trees will be felled to construct master sector dividing road between Sector 102A and Sector 103 adjacent to Dwarka Expressway. Another 197 trees, as per the tender document, will be felled for the construction of sector 70A outer road which is being constructed at a cost of ₹15 crore.
