Delhi High Court has ordered not to cut trees till 2nd July. The next hearing in the case is on July 4.
Locals in the national capital are protesting since June 22. Held under the 'Delhi Trees SOS' campaign, the protests were called to aware people about the redevelopment project and urge the government to avoid cutting trees for the same.
Residents, on Sunday, continued their protest against felling of trees under the re-development project in Delhi's Sarojini Nagar, Nauroji Nagar and Netaji Nagar areas.
Environmentalist Vimlendu Jha called the entire situation "unfortunate," saying the city at present did not need beautification but the strength to breathe.
Jha further accused state-owned construction firm NBCC (India) Ltd of violating rules, saying it did not do the compensatory afforestation as promised and the budget allocated for it was never used for the environment.
