Dda

The Supreme Court has asked Delhi LG VK Saxena, in his capacity as the chairperson of the DDA, to file an affidavit explaining what steps are being taken to fix responsibility for the alleged illegal felling of over 600 trees in the Ridge area.

The Delhi High Court on Thursday asked the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) to fence the flood plain of the Yamuna river after removing encroachments from there to ensure no illegal construction takes place in the future.

Delhi government has shown lack of sensitivity over protecting the environment, the Supreme Court said while rapping it for granting permission to the DDA to chop 422 trees in the Southern Ridge's reserve forest area to construct a road.

The Supreme Court on Friday asked the Delhi Police not to harass a city resident who has filed a contempt plea against the DDA over "illegal" tree-felling in the Ridge forest.

The Supreme Court rapped the Delhi Development Authority (DDA), the AAP government and contractor for "not apprising" Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena about the requirements before ordering the felling of trees.

Mr Saxena directed the Delhi Development Authority (DDA), which is coordinating with various construction agencies for the removal of debris and construction material from the Yamuna floodplains.

The plea contended that the illegal construction in question has been going on without any permission or regard for environmental concerns and will endanger the ecologically fragile Yamuna floodplains.

Coming down heavily on the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) for the felling of trees in the capital's Ridge area, the Supreme Court today said it cannot brush aside "brazen acts" that lead to the destruction of the environment.

The Rouse Avenue Court on Saturday awarded a 4-year jail sentence to DDA's former Assistant Director and his co-accused after conviction in a corruption case.

The Delhi High Court has ordered the suspension of further offline and online bookings for Ramleela functions on Delhi Development Authority (DDA) grounds until new Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) or guidelines are established by the authority.
