The National Green Tribunal has sought responses from the Delhi government and others on a plea alleging encroachment and illegal construction of a bridge on forest land by some farmhouse owners in Chattarpur.
The green body was hearing a petition seeking issuance of directions for the removal of all illegal constructions and encroachments on a land plot owned by the first department at Mahabalipuram Green, Bhati Khurd, in Chattarpur, with consequential directions for taking appropriate legal action against the violators.
A bench of judicial member Arun Kumar Tyagi and expert members Afroz Ahmad and A Senthil Vel noted the allegations that the forest land had been encroached upon by certain farmhouse owners who were carrying out illegal construction of a bridge on the said land.
In an order dated May 7, the bench said, “Prima facie, the averments made in the original application raise substantial questions relating to the environment”
