Delhi DDA Launches Ridge Restoration and Supreme Court Urges Forest Land Declaration
The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has initiated a large-scale ecological restoration project to revive the Delhi Ridge by planting approximately 181,000 indigenous trees and shrubs across 120 hectares. This effort includes removing invasive species and follows directives from Lieutenant Governor Taranjit Singh Sandhu. Concurrently, the Supreme Court has urged the Delhi government to declare 185 acres of land as forest to protect compensatory afforestation sites linked to illegal tree felling by the DDA. The restoration aims to enhance biodiversity, air quality, and climate resilience in the capital.
