The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has taken action against the Delhi government by issuing a show-cause notice to the chief secretary regarding the removal of encroachments from forest land. This move comes in response to a plea concerning the enforcement of an order issued in August 2018, which directed the removal of illegal and non-forest structures in South Delhi's Asola, Sahupur, and Bhati villages. The bench, comprising judicial member Arun Kumar Tyagi and expert member A Senthil Vel, highlighted the importance of ensuring compliance with the tribunal's previous orders. The NGT has requested a report detailing the steps taken by the Delhi government to adhere to the August 2018 directive. Further proceedings in this matter are scheduled for August 17, underscoring the tribunal's commitment to environmental protection and adherence to legal mandates.
