The Uttarakhand High Court has issued contempt notice to the then secretary of Public Works Department RK Sudhanshu and assistant engineer Dharendra Kumar and ordered them to submit their reply for not following the detailed orders of the court in the widening of Sahastradhara Road in Dehradun. The single bench of justice Ravindra Maithani issued this order. The matter will be taken for hearing next on December 20.
Dehradun resident Ashish Garg had in the past filed a public interest litigation stating that he had opposed the felling of about 100 trees for widening of Sahastradhara Road.
