New Delhi: Delhi High Court expressed concern on Friday over the pollution level in Delhi and pulled up authorities for their “insensitive” approach towards preservation of trees.
Annoyed over the alleged violation of the court’s earlier directions on not carrying out civil work within a two-metre radius of any existing tree without prior permission, the high court said trenching activity has been carried out with brutality.
“The people of the national capital are in a miserable state. Look at the pollution. None stops you but you have to be considerate. They (trees) were planted following the orders of the high court. Look at the brutality. It is absolutely insensitive,” Justice Jasmeet Singh said.
The court was hearing a matter in which it issued a notice last week to a Military Engineer Services (MES) official to explain why contempt action should not be initiated against him for violating its earlier directions on not carrying out any civil work within a two-metre radius of any existing tree without prior permission.
