Delhi Government Implements SOP for Tree Offences with Timely Inquiry and Enforcement
The Delhi government has introduced a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) under the Delhi Preservation of Trees Act, 1994, to address tree-related offences with inquiries aimed to be completed within two months. The SOP establishes round-the-clock control rooms, Quick Response Teams (QRTs), and legal cells to ensure prompt action, including site cordoning, geo-referenced evidence collection, and prosecution. Complaints can be filed via multiple platforms, and suspects may face arrest warrants if they evade summons, reflecting strengthened enforcement measures against illegal tree cutting and damage.
