SC seeks response of Centre on plea seeking to stop Dwarka highway work
The Supreme Court on Monday sought the response of the Centre on a petition filed by residents of Dwarka, seeking a halt on the construction of a new national highway close to residential buildings without obtaining a green clearance or permission for removal of trees.
The residents of two group housing societies — New Millennium and Sadbhavna Apartments— along with six individuals residing in sectors 22 and 23 of Dwarka approached the top court to stall the ongoing construction of the highway project by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI). Earlier, the petitioners had approached the Delhi high court, which on July 30 allowed NHAI to carry on with the construction work.
