The National Green Tribunal on Wednesday issued a show-cause notice to the Delhi chief secretary, requiring the filing of a report on compliance with the tribunal’s order to remove encroachments from forest land here.
The green body was hearing a plea seeking execution of the tribunal’s August 2018 order directing the Delhi government and its authorities to remove all illegal and non-forest structures in South Delhi’s Asola, Sahupur and Bhati villages.
A bench of judicial member Arun Kumar Tyagi and expert member A Senthil Vel said, “We consider it appropriate to look into the aspect of requisite compliance of the orders passed by this tribunal.”
