Punjab and Haryana High Court Orders Geo-Tagging and Forest Cover Policies
The Punjab and Haryana high court has directed Fortis Hospital, Mohali, to geo-tag 110 compensatory saplings planted after approval to fell 22 trees for hospital expansion. The court emphasized monitoring and survival of these trees over ten years. Separately, the court has asked chief secretaries of Punjab and Haryana to develop policies to increase forest cover, seeking affidavits by October 28. A ban on tree felling since December 2025 remains in place, with the court aiming to establish a framework for managing tree-cutting requests.
