NEW DELHI: Coming down closely on all of the authorities involved, the Delhi prime courtroom on Wednesday requested how may a sapling exchange a grown-up tree and observed that felling of over 16,500 bushes to build multi-storeyed lodging for proposed redevelopment of south Delhi colonies was very similar to leaving the town to die.
As a outcome, the HC has prohibited the authorities from either axing or uprooting bushes until July 26, when a bench comprising Acting Chief Justice Gita Mittal and Justice C Hari Shankar will listen the matter again.
On Wednesday, the courtroom questioned if any environment impact overview was performed ahead of beginning the work. “What do you mean by means of redevelopment? This is your scheme. Replacing a two-storeyed construction with an eight-floor construction, that is what you call redevelopment?” it requested.
It additional mentioned, “From the place do you get water for such eight-floor constructions? What amount of garbage will probably be generated? Where is parking and what about air pollution? You don’t practice your mind to planning...If Delhi wishes that they (constructions) be dismantled, they'll be dismantled. You can’t go away the town to die like this.”
The counsel appearing for the National Buildings Construction Corporation (NBCC), tasked with the task of redevelopment, claimed that no garbage was going out of the construction site. The courtroom also expressed concern over a possible chaotic visitors scenario near AIIMS and Safdarjung Hospital because of the construction. “There will probably be visitors jam at the primary gate of the colonies. Two primary hospitals are at the intersection. How will other people achieve AIIMS and Safdarjung Hospital? You should have carried out an atmosphere impact overview. Show it to us,” it mentioned.
The HC warned of giving orders relating to demolition of East Kidwai Nagar, if required, as it seems to be haphazard and has an impact on neighbouring hospitals.
The courtroom, has, subsequently, requested the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) to place ahead of it all of the schemes of redevelopment and mentioned why everybody needs to be given house in the Lutyens’ Delhi when the peripherals of Delhi have such a lot of vacant land. “The mantra is decongestion,” the bench mentioned. The courtroom steered to the authorities to consider developing colonies like Narela.
The courtroom also requested the Delhi govt to provide an explanation for how a fully grown tree may well be equated with 10 saplings holding in mind the time a sapling takes to develop into a tree.
By next date of listening to, ministries of environment and wooded area and housing, Delhi govt, NBCC, DDA, Delhi Jal Board, NDMC and other authorities, should document their reaction at the petition. The PIL, filed by means of orthopaedic surgeon Dr Kaushal Kant Mishra, has sought the courtroom’s intervention towards felling of bushes for housing initiatives in six south Delhi colonies — Sarojini Nagar, Nauroji Nagar, Netaji Nagar, Thyagaraja Nagar, Mohammadpur and Kasturba Nagar.
