While granting environmental clearance for a project that involves ‘redevelopment’ of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), the State Environment Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA) flagged the proposal as one that made no attempt to make any “major change” that would have led to the preservation of trees on the site.
Similar observations were expressed by the SEIAA regarding the Central Vista Executive Enclave project’s environmental clearance as they were over the AIIMS project proposal.
5,575 trees total, 731 will be cut down and 1,910 will be transplanted at the AIIMS project site. The remaining 2,934 trees will be kept at the site
