Why compensatory trees are being planted far away from removal spots: HC questions Punjab
The court was hearing a clutch of petitions – one seeking the quashing of a Mohali administration decision to cut 251 trees for building three roundabouts near Gurdwara Singh Shaheedan, Sector 78/79, and near CP-67 mall, and another opposing tree cutting for a shopping mall. It was in these proceedings that the HC on December 24 stayed the felling of trees across Punjab, modified later for certain categories of work such as those undertaken by the National Highways Authority of India.
