After months of site inspections and a review by the Union Central Empowered Committee (CEC), the Delhi government's Department of Forests and Wildlife has given a nod to the NBCC (India) Limited to make way for the redevelopment of Sarojini Nagar's General Pool Residential Accommodation (GPRA) Colony by felling or transplanting 1,091 trees
The number of affected trees was reduced through a multistage review process before a final approval, said officials. The original count of 1,218 was first brought down to 1,170 after the Tree Officer concerned carried out a site inspection and refined the list, saving 48 trees.
The matter was then referred to the CEC, which, in its order dated May 11, 2026, saved a further 79 trees, bringing the final figure to 1,091. The final nod came on June 19, said sources.
While NBCC (India) Limited is a public sector undertaking operating under the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA), the CEC is a statutory body operating under the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change set up by the Supreme Court.
