The Uttar Pradesh government has defended its actions regarding the Kanwar Marg project, stating that the road width has been reduced to minimize tree felling, saving approximately 3,000 trees. However, the National Green Tribunal (NGT) is currently examining claims of illegal tree cutting in the construction of the road, with allegations that trees have been cut well beyond the permitted width. In a separate case, the NGT has summoned Uttarakhand officials for their inaction on illegal tree cutting in Nainital, criticizing the lack of substantial responses or actions taken despite previous orders. Additionally, the NGT has issued notices regarding the encroachment of six hectares of forest land in South Delhi, where around 500 illegal huts have been constructed, prompting concerns over compliance with environmental laws. These cases highlight ongoing issues of environmental protection and regulatory enforcement in India.
