Ensure no trees cut near NH-8: Green tribunal

“We direct that this matter to be listed on June 6,2013,so as to enable the respondents (HUDA and DLF) to file an affidavit giving undertaking not to cut the trees in the disputed site pending disposal of the application except with specific approval of the competent authority,” bench said.

The tribunal directed the Haryana Pollution Control Board (HPCB) to “file an affidavit as to whether the project requires environment clearance” by the next date.

The directions came on a plea of the residents of a housing society ,National Media Centre (NMC),who challenged the permission given to HUDA by the district forest dept to cut the trees in the area stretching from Shankar Chowk to sectors 55-56 in Gurgaon.

They alleged that the trees are being cut to expand an already existing sector road which connects to the National Highway 8.
