GHAZIABAD: The Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA) was ordered by the National Green Tribunal on Friday that it has to follow the ?due process of law? for felling down any tree located over a 250 sqm plot in Raj Nagar which is being allotted for setting up of commercial shops.
The orders were passed by the tribunal on Friday upon a petition filed by RWA members of Raj Nagar opposing allotment of the ?green patch? for commercial purposes.
Residents have alleged in the petition that the land-use pattern of the plot is not clearly mentioned in the master plan and that the GDA has in the past designated several land uses for it. The plot has remained unused for over three decades.
The principal bench of the tribunal, which ordered that it ?may be indicated in the allotment order that the trees standing over the plot should not be felled without following due process of the law?, has also ordered that the auction conducted by GDA in respect of the ?disputed plot? would be subject to the final outcome of the petition.
The auction, as per a notice issued by the GDA last month, was scheduled for October 19. The tribunal has issued a notice to the GDA seeking its response to the allegations levelled by residents.
Residents have alleged that despite several representations made to the GDA, there has been no clear-cut response on the exact nature of land use of the plot. ?The Authority has kept residents in the dark over the nature of land use of this plot,? said RWA member Dr Nira Bhan, senior consultant with a private hospital in Noida.
?All we were told after several queries is that this green patch is the same plot which has been put up for auction,? she added.
Residents have argued that the plot of land is home to around 25 full grown trees including Ashoka, Neem and Teak, and have opposed to their felling to set up commercial shops on the ground that they already have easy access to big markets nearby.
?The Raj Nagar District Centre, an upscale commercial hub, is at a walking distance from our sector. We do not want our locality to be crowded with petty shops at the cost of its green lungs,? added Dr Bhan.
