Road widening: Punjab and Haryana High Court bans axing of trees
Chandigarh, July 16
The Punjab and Haryana HC has made it clear that no tree would be cut without its permission for the widening of the Panipat-Rohtak old road section of the national highway.
As a petition filed by Amit Kaushik against the Haryana PWD (B&R) came up for resumed hearing before the Bench of Chief Justice Ravi Shanker Jha and Justice Arun Palli, Additional Advocate General Deepak Balyan submitted that he had directed the authorities to not cut any tree pursuant to the order passed by the HC and to come up with an alternative realistic assessment of the area for saving the trees. — TNS
