Tree Cutting Case: Delhi Government Forms 3-Member Fact Finding Panel
In an act of defiance, the principal secretary of Environment and Forest department has questioned the formation of a fact finding committee of the Delhi government ministers over cutting of trees in Ridge area, claiming it violated rules and could lead to contempt of the Supreme Court.
The committee comprising ministers Atishi, Saurabh Bharadwaj and Imran Hussain was formed as per decision taken in a meeting of the Delhi government ministers on June 29 to look into cutting of 1,100 trees in the Southern Ridge area by the DDA allegedly without required permission.
