Officials from the ministry of environment and forests and the Delhi
government have been issued show
cause notices by the Delhi High
Court. The reason: their inability
to care for the environment and
preserve the capital's impressive
green cover.
The notice was in response to a
petition filed by the Indian Council
for Legal Aid, which stated that
encroachers and landgrabbers
were busy felling trees in the protected area near Vasant Vihar in
South Delhi.
