Nov 27, 2025 03:04 am CST

The Supreme Court has strongly criticized the Haryana government for uprooting 40 mature trees to construct an access road to a newly-built BJP office in Karnal. The case, brought by a decorated 1971-war veteran who owns adjacent property, challenges both the arbitrary land allocation in a residential area and the environmental damage caused. The court has demanded a remedial action plan and warned state officials of serious consequences for this violation of green norms.
