💨 Abstract

The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has directed Uttar Pradesh's chief secretary to investigate allegations of illegal tree cutting on a pilgrim route during the 'kanwar yatra'. The Forest Survey of India (FSI) officer reported that trees beyond the permitted 20 meters had been cut. The NGT has asked the state to verify the allegations, ascertain their correctness, and take action if illegal felling is found.
