In a boost to the green cover in the Hisar Municipal Corporation, concretisation around the trees has been removed following the National Green Tribunal's intervention.

The bench headed by NGT Chairperson Adarsh Kumar Goel was dealing with a plea on the illegal concretisation around the trees, obstructing the growth and existence of trees, resulting in their uprooting during mild storms in the city.

On July 28 last year, the NGT had directed a three-member joint panel to check the pending remedial action and furnish a compliance report. Accordingly, officials of Haryana Forest Department, PWD along with the applicant Adv Jitender Arya, Advocate, on behalf of Jago India Jago conducted an action plan to remove the concrete blocks in Hisar City.
