The CM noted that it will be placed before the L-G, and he is bound by the aid and advice of the government on the subject. (Express Photo)A new defence facility will come up soon in Delhi after Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s decision to allow the removal and transplantation of 214 trees, the Delhi government said Saturday.
The government said Kejriwal had cleared the path for the project by approving the said proposal against the condition of the applicant agency taking up the plantation of 2,140 new saplings. “The applicant agency has proposed the construction of a new defence project in Delhi. However, certain patches of trees were obstructing the construction of the site,” the government stated.
“It had written a letter to the Environment and Forests Department seeking approval… Given the importance of modern infrastructure for defence forces, CM Kejriwal gave his nod to speed up the work by clearing the patch, in the national interest,” it stated.
The CM noted that it will be placed before the L-G, and he is bound by the aid and advice of the government on the subject.
