NGT Orders Fresh Inspection and Geo-Tagging of Paschim Vihar Saplings
The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has directed the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) to conduct a fresh inspection and geo-tagging of tree saplings planted in Paschim Vihar, west Delhi, to verify their survival and condition. Following a report that 976 of 1,063 saplings survived, mostly under six feet tall, the NGT ordered additional planting to replace lost saplings and protective measures like tree guards. The MCD and Delhi government must submit a compliance report before the next hearing.
