The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) was recently pulled up by the Supreme Court for cutting the greens in its attempt to construct a stadium and a parking lot at the forest areas of Siri Fort. Calling the project to construct badminton and squash courts for the 2010 Commonwealth Games “ill-conceived”, the Central Empowered Committee at a hearing said it would not allow any more trees to be cut. The CEC indicated that it would also not allow operation of a 25,000 square-metre parking lot constructed in the area.
