Detailed Summary

The Department of Forests and Wildlife, National Capital Territory of Delhi, issued a notification on March 9, 2026 (published March 10, 2026), granting an exemption under Section 29 of the Delhi Preservation of Trees Act, 1994 (Delhi Act 11 of 1994). This exemption, issued by the Lt.

This notification, initiated by an application from the Executive Engineer, Education Project Division-I, PWD, GNCTD, and sought by the Tree Officer (South Forest Division), explicitly states that it does not constitute permission for tree felling or transplantation; such applications must be separately scrutinized by the Tree Officer (South Forest Division) under the DPTA, 1994, the Delhi Preservation of Trees Rules, 1996, and other relevant legal provisions, with the objective of minimizing the number of affected trees. The notification was issued by order and in the name of the Lt. Governor, signed by Vijay Kumar Bidhuri, Secy. (Environment & Forests).
