SC Panel Approves Vasant Kunj Housing with Tree Protection

SC Panel Approves Vasant Kunj Housing with Tree Protection

Imagine a builder wants to build houses in a place in Delhi that has a special ridge, like a small hill.

A special committee said yes, but only if they protect all the existing trees.

The builder also has to plant more trees to make a green fence and along the roads.

Some people were worried because it's a sensitive area, but the committee said it was okay with special rules.

They checked the land and saw trees and houses already there.

The builder got permission from other groups before this.

Now, the project needs final approval from a higher court.
