In a separate development, the Delhi government last week granted approval for the removal and transplantation of 316 trees for the construction of the Janakpuri-RK Ashram metro corridor.

In this regard, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation has proposed the construction of a new Delhi Metro corridor extending from Janakpuri to RK Ashram. These trees were coming in the way of Delhi Metro Phase-Four’s construction.

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said, “We have cleared the path for construction of a new metro corridor between Janakpuri and RK Ashram, today. DMRC has been given permission to remove and transplant 316 trees obstructing the project, provided they compensate by planting 3,160 more trees.”
