India, July 2 -- Residents of Babupur village in Sector 106 raised concerns over alleged tree felling on Wednesday near the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram's (MCG) proposed construction and demolition (C&D) secondary collection point.

According to residents, on Wednesday afternoon, they saw an earthmover uprooting trees near the C&D site. When confronted, the workers alleged that they were contractors deployed by the MCG.

To be sure, the National Green Tribunal (NGT) on June 11 issued a notice to the MCG after a citizen-led group, Dwarka Expressway Gurugram Development Association (DXP-GDA), filed a petition on May 14 challenging the location of the proposed C&D site. The matter is scheduled for hearing on September 10.
