New Delhi, April 24 (UNI) The Supreme Court on Wednesday issued a show cause notice to the vice-chairman of Delhi Development Authority (DDA) for the felling of more than 1000 trees for the construction of an approach road between Chattarpur Road and SAARC University near Maidan Garhi.
A bench comprising Justice B R Gavai and Justice Sandeep Mehta issued the show cause notice to the Vice-Chairman of DDA and asked him to reply why an action for committing contempt of court be not taken against him.
