Delhi PWD in quandary over flyover opening after HC denies nod to cut trees

With the Delhi high court reprimanding the forest department for even seeking permission to transplant a Neem tree and a jamun tree located in the carriageway of the Anand Vihar flyover last week, the Public Works Department now finds itself in a quandary about opening the flyover with trees intact. One of the trees in the middle of the carriageway of the flyover between Anand Vihar and Dilshad Garden in New Delhi on Monday. A senior PWD official said that the department now plans to open the flyover with trees intact and “higher ups” will now take a call regarding the inauguration date. There are two trees – a larger neem tree and a smaller jamun tree – on the carriageway going from Anand Vihar to the Apsara border.
