NEW DELHI: The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has sought a response from the Delhi government and others regarding the alleged “misuse” of forest land allotted for afforestation.
The green body was hearing a plea claiming that 125 bighas (around 30 hectares) of Gram Sabha land in Kharkhari Jatmal village, Najafgarh, was allocated to the forest department for afforestation in 2005 and the lieutenant governor approved this allocation to mitigate pollution, enhance green cover and contribute to environmental protection.
The petition alleged this land had been misused as the “land mafia” encroached upon it and started illegal construction and unauthorised agricultural activities.
