Environmentalists blame PWD for indiscriminate concretisation and demand strict adherence to laws
Despite standing guidelines and rules banning concretisation around trees in the Capital, callous civil works undertaken by the authorities have caused extensive damage to several trees on the pavements of Delhi.
One such activity of indiscriminate concretisation around trees in Vikas Marg area was brought up by environmentalists before the Delhi High Court, prompting it to issue contempt notices to the Delhi Government and other local bodies earlier this month.
Another petition was filed before the High Court by environmental activist Bhavreen Kandhari over the concretisation around 549 trees on the streets of Vasant Vihar, which is under the jurisdiction of the Public Works Department.
