SC mulls making its nod must for all tree felling
The Supreme Court is reviewing a petition to prohibit tree felling in Delhi without its approval. The petition, prompted by data revealing the felling of five trees hourly, criticizes the Delhi Preservation of Trees Act authorities for insufficient oversight. The petitioner emphasizes the violation of procedural safeguards within the Act and highlights the significant gap between Delhi's existing green cover and the National Forest Policy's mandate.
