New Delhi, April 18 (SocialNews.XYZ) The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has sought a report from the District Forest Officer, District Magistrate, and Haryana Pollution Control Board on a plea alleging illegal felling of trees in Sarai Kawaja village in Faridabad.
A principal bench headed by its chairperson Adarsh Kumar Goel was dealing with the plea, in which the applicant stated the continuous cutting of trees in the 'deemed forest'.
