The India Trade Promotion Organisation (ITPO) is planning to transform Pragati Maidan into a world-class convention centre.<\/p>\n<p>The proposed plan also includes interventions to ease traffic in and around Pragati Maidan, including a six-lane divided tunnel connecting Mathura Road and Ring Road across Pragati Maidan and making Mathura Road signal free through U-turns\/subways at necessary intersections for better access to the complex. The exhibition-cum-convention complex will have a basement parking of 4,800 vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>The tribunal was hearing a plea filed by National Sports Club of India alleging that the Delhi government was recklessly cutting trees for the redevelopment work.<\/p>\n<p>For all the latest\u00a0India News, download\u00a0Indian Express App<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;The counsel appearing for the Delhi government submits that there shall be no tree cutting in the said area without the permission granted by the tree officer, South Division, Tughlakabad, New Delhi,&#8221; the bench said The Delhi government has assured the National Green Tribunal that there would be no felling of trees without requisite permission [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":51147,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[87,1],"tags":[31987,41131,18699],"class_list":["post-51146","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-environment-law-news","category-top-law-news","tag-featured","tag-no-felling-of-trees-without-requisite-permission","tag-pragati-maidan"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Pragati Maidan : no felling of trees without requisite permission - Legal News India - Supreme Court &amp; High Court Updates<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"&quot;The counsel appearing for the Delhi government submits that there shall be no tree cutting in the said area without the permission granted by the tree - Get the latest legal news from the Supreme Court, High Courts, and government.
