AAP protests near BJP office over cutting of 1,100 trees in Delhi

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders and workers staged a protest near the BJP office on DDU Marg over the alleged cutting of 1100 trees in Delhi’s Southern Ridge area.

The protesters, some of whom wore face masks of Delhi LG VK Saxena, also carried cut-outs of saws and tree stumps and formed a human chain. They



alleged that the Lt. Governor of the BJP-led Centre was responsible for cutting down the trees in the protected forest area on the ridge.

The Supreme Court, which is seized of the matter of cutting 1100 trees near Satbari in Southern Ridge, has come down heavily upon both LG VK Saxena and the AAP government.
