THE UT Forest and Wildlife department has turned down a plea by the Rail Land Development Authority (RLDA) that sought permission to chop at least 1,300 trees that are located on railway land as part of a project to redevelop Chandigarh railway station and make it ‘world-class’.
As per details, the rail land authority had sent an environmental management plan to Indian Railway authorities detailing out their plan to the 1,300 trees.
However, before the railway authorities could give its approval for the environmental management plan, RLDA went ahead and moved a plea before the Chandigarh forest department, seeking permission to chop the 1,300 trees.
