Ministry of environment, forests and climate change (MOEFCC) has cleared three housing projects in South Delhi stretching across Sarojini Nagar, Netaji Nagar and Kasturba Nagar government housing colonies. A government-appointed expert panel has recommended environmental clearance for thess projects, which have been lying in limbo over the proposal to fell a large number of trees. During deliberations, the EAC noted that as per the environmental clearance granted vide dated June 12, 2018, initial activities were taken up but due to writ petitions filed in the Delhi High Court and National Green Tribunal (NGT) against felling of trees, the High Court had ordered to maintain status quo in redevelopment of all seven GPRA Colonies including Sarojini Nagar. Redevelopment is needed in Delhi and also translocation is a good move but it has to be carried out cautiously as most of the times it is not successful. While granting clearance for such projects is the need of the hour, however, cutting of trees should be reduced and more trees must be planted, said an environmentalist.
