New Delhi: The Delhi high court has asked the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) to seek fresh permission for cutting trees for the construction of a flyover on road no 226 in Dwarka sector 22-23, after the Deputy Conservator of Forest (DCF) informed the court that earlier clearances given to the highways body have expired.
Justice Prathiba M Singh, while hearing a plea challenging the construction of the flyover, said the application of the NHAI seeking renewal of permission will be decided within two weeks.
The DCF, who was present during the hearing on March 17, told the court that the earlier permission which was taken by the NHAI in September 2019 was valid for three months and hence, the approval for felling of trees is not valid.
