A retired scientist's concern
over the upcoming construction within 10-km radius of the Asola Wildlife
Sanctuary has led the National Green Tribunal to seek a response from the
Centre on the issue. A bench headed by NGT chairperson Justice Swatanter Kumar
issued notice to the ministry of environment and forests, Delhi government,
National Board For Wildlife and others while seeking their replies by September
14. The Tribunal's direction came while hearing a plea filed by CV Singh,
retired scientist of Haryana Pollution Control Board, seeking directions to
prevent illegal and unauthorised construction works undertaken by the
developers within 10-km radius of the Asola Wildlife Sanctuary as the said
projects have no clearance from the National Board for Wildlife.
