Delhi HC slams Delhi Forest Dept for allowing cutting of trees, says it is responsible for the pollution mess

Op India  

The Delhi High Court on Friday pulled up Delhi’s forest department for passing stereotypical orders allowing the felling of trees in the national capital and asked if they wanted people to live in gas chambers. You are responsible for the mess the citizens of Delhi are in today.” Court observation came on Friday while hearing a petition seeking contempt action against the Delhi forest authorities for allowing the felling of trees by passing one-line orders and not giving any reasons for such permission. The petition alleged that the one line orders issued by the forest officials allowing cutting of trees violated the court order, and therefore sought contempt of court proceedings. How can colonies be treeless?” The court also orally observed that this type of order has led to toxic levels of air pollution in the city with the Air Quality Index reaching alarming levels.
