The Madhya Pradesh High Court has approved the felling of trees for the Indore Metro project, but mandated a phased approach overseen by bird experts.
The construction of the Indore Metro has received a significant boost with the Madhya Pradesh High Court granting permission for the felling of trees required for the project. However, the court has imposed a crucial condition: the tree removal must be carried out in a phased manner and under the supervision of experts specializing in bird conservation. This decision aims to minimize the impact on the local avian population and ensure the project's environmental sustainability. The court's ruling comes after a series of petitions challenging the environmental clearance granted to the Indore Metro project.
