Delhi Officials Optimistic on Barapullah Phase 3 Tree Cutting Approval
Imagine they're building a new road to make it easier to drive between two places in Delhi.
They need to cut down some trees to build it.
A special group is checking to see if they can cut down the trees.
The people in charge hope they'll get permission soon so they can finish the road.
The road is already mostly built, and it has taken longer and cost more money than they thought it would.
Once they get the okay to cut the trees, they hope to finish building the road by the end of the year.
Central Empowered Committee (CEC) conducted a survey for the Barapullah Phase 3 project.
Officials anticipate tree-cutting permission for the project soon.
Over 90% of the project's work is already completed.
The project aims to connect Mayur Vihar-I and AIIMS with signal-free connectivity.
The project's cost has escalated since its initiation in 2015.
