Dwarka Expressway: Residents Demand Greener Corridor
4 Jun
Summary
- Residents' association seeks large-scale tree plantation on Dwarka Expressway.
- Association proposes greening 100-acre area and expressway belts.
- Environment minister invited to discuss green corridor roadmap.
Residents along the Dwarka Expressway are calling for a large-scale tree plantation drive to combat increasing urbanisation. The Dwarka Expressway Gurugram Development Association (DXPGDA) has formally requested the Haryana government to establish a comprehensive green corridor. This initiative aims to enhance the environmental quality of the rapidly developing area.
The association has identified several key locations for the proposed plantation, including a 100-acre plot in Sector 102A and green belts lining the expressway. They also highlighted areas near the upcoming Maa Sheetla Devi Hospital and Medical College, along with connecting sector roads. This proactive approach seeks to balance infrastructure growth with ecological sustainability.
DXPGDA has invited the Haryana environment minister to visit the region and engage with residents to map out strategies for increasing green cover. The association previously approached the National Green Tribunal concerning a waste collection centre proposal, citing concerns over pollution and environmental violations. Government authorities have acknowledged the request and pledged to act following ground inspections.
