In a significant move, Delhi Environment and Forest minister Gopal Rai announced on Saturday the establishment of a fact-finding committee to probe the unauthorized felling of 1,100 trees in the Ridge area.
The committee, consisting of ministers Atishi, Saurabh Bharadwaj, and Imran Hussain, has been tasked with finalizing a report for the Supreme Court, ahead of its next hearing.
Rai's statement alleged that the trees were unlawfully cut down based on verbal instructions from the Delhi Lieutenant Governor, bypassing necessary permissions.
