CHIPKO PARTICIPATION BY GREEN CIRCLE
On
24.6.2018, Green Circle has conducted a symbolic CHIPKO in front of Diamond
Square apartment Sector 6 Dwarka. A large number of members who participated in
the Chipko Dwarka had proceeded further to join the CHIPKO INDIA site at
Sarojini nagar. Anil Sood of CHETNA, NGO received the Green Circle team.
Selvarajan on behalf of Green Circle addressed the gathering and expressed
solidarity with the CHIPKO organizers. Advocate Gautam Sarkar announced that
Green Circle will join the application filed by CHETNA before NGT to take the
task legally. Addressing the media persons, Selvarajan said that compensatory
planting of 135000 trees is just an eye wash and would in no way compensate the
well grown trees axed now. He added that
there is no logic or rhyme in planting 10 little saplings in the place of one
50 year old tree in respect of oxygen contribution. He wondered how the
environmental clearance for the whole project was given, without properly
accounting the environmental loss due to cutting trees. Green Circle members
Ravi Jaitley, S K Malik, Anurag Mohan, Munish, Anurag Behl, Romilla Gandhi,
Jyoti, Sandhya, Vadhera embraced the tree and vowed to save trees. Members
later joined the candle march also
