NGT investigates illegal felling of thousands of trees in Delhi by a private builder for development.

The National Green Tribunal (NGT) is investigating illegal tree felling in Delhi's Jindpur, where a private builder cut down thousands of trees for a warehouse and commercial godown at Chajju Ram Bagh. The NGT has issued notices to the Ministry of Environment, Forest, and Climate Change and the Delhi Pollution Control Committee. The DPCC filed a report mentioning a compounding fee for the illegal felling of 15 trees, but the NGT is seeking more information and the case will be heard again in April.
