The Supreme Court directed Delhi’s Forest Department to file a detailed report on the 185 acres meant for compensatory afforestation. Justice Surya Kant said afforestation across 18 sites would be more “environmentally and equitably” balanced than a single location.
The Supreme Court has paused the NGT’s Rs 50.44 crore penalty on the Delhi Jal Board and MCD for allegedly failing to control Yamuna pollution. Notices have been issued to both bodies as the case proceeds.
