Forest department notice to DDA over tree-felling inside Sanjay Van

Delhi’s Forest and Wildlife department has issued a notice to the Delhi Development Authority regarding the illegal felling of trees in Sanjay Van, based on allegations by a group of activists. The department said though it had given permission to prune trees at Sanjay Van last year, based on the complaint, it was seeking a response from the DDA on the status of pruning and whether any trees were felled in the forest. A senior forest department official said, based on allegations and submission of photographs showing trees that were possibly head hacked, action has been initiated. On HT’s visit to Sanjay Van, it found pockets where trees were been pruned, with excessive pruning also observed in some parts.
