SC allows NHAI to resume work on G’gram-Pataudi-Rewari highway
The Supreme Court has granted permission to the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) to resume work on the Gurugram-Pataudi-Rewari highway. It has also upheld the National Green Tribunal’s decision on compensatory afforestation.
The court in its latest orders has asked the NHAI to find an appropriate site in the vicinity of the project for compensatory afforestation for around 20,000 tress that will be axed. It has also directed the NHAI to include city environmentalists, who had approached the SC regarding the issue, for the afforestation process.
