Municipal Corporation Of Delhi — encroachment and indiscriminate cutting of trees

Address:

E-22 and E-23 Sarita Vihar New Delhi-110076, New Delhi, Delhi, 110076

I am a resident of e-24 sarita vihar. This is to bring to your urgent attention that our neighbours from flat no. E-22 and e-23 have been trying to chop down a tree in our neighbourhood owing to the fact that it interferes with their encroachment of the dda land. The flat owner of e-23 bought the flat last year and carried out extensive illegal construction to the point his encroached terrace was touching the trees planted by dda along the roadside. I warned him against cutting down any trees to accommodate his illegal structure and he assured me he won't be touching them. I even lodged a complaint regarding the encroachment on the dda land along with pictures of the same (Dated 8th july, 2018) but no action was taken. They have cut down many branches in the past one year and i have photographic proof of the same. Today to our utter shock they chopped down one of the two main branches of the dda planted tree adjacent to their balcony. I have been harassed by these people for voicing my objections to their illegal activities. I am a retired central government employee and this sort of harassment has led me to consider legal options in the matter. I request you to take urgent action without any further delay. Please find attached, photos o[censored]nauthorised construction at e-23 from last year and today's photos of tree being cut.
