He said the city’s green cover had not expanded as purported by the government, with many areas still appearing barren. He called the government’s 12-point summer action plan a “rehashed script” presented as a new initiative. He questioned the veracity of last year’s promises by Cabinet Minister Gopal Rai and CM Arvind Kejriwal to plant 10 million and 5,50,000 saplings, respectively. He called for a green audit by the NGT to verify the government’s claims.
