A six-acre land in North-West Delhi which was being used a dumping ground has now been converted into a lush green area, thanks to the Delhi High Court’s intervention and an IFS officer’s efforts.

The waste-filled land was a bone of contention between two parties, the North Delhi Municipal Corporation and a waste management company named Delhi Municipal Solid Waste Solutions Limited. The private organisation moved the court, and the case was heard by Justice Najmi Waziri who is considered to be environment friendly and hears mostly such kinds of cases and also seeks help from the forest department and its officers if required.

The judge ordered the private organisation to complete the plantation process and convert the land into a dense forest. However, the set targets did not match and so the court sought a detailed report of the whole project of plantation and conversion of the dumpyard into a dense forest from the Deputy Conservation of Forest, North Delhi, Mr. Vipul Pandey.

INSPECTION REPORT

While speaking to Indian Masterminds, Mr. Vipul Pandey said, “Our professional inputs were sought by the High Court and we submitted an inspection report in which we suggested various recommendations for establishing a dense forest. 50 percent recommendation from the report were followed and the court seemed satisfied with our inputs.”

The private organisation challenged the matter again. However, the court directed the organisation to speak with the concerned forest department. Hereafter, there was no interference by the company and the forest department under the guidance of IFS officer Vipul Pandey started monitoring the plants which were being planted in the land.

Mr. Pandey said, “Things like the place of plantation, height of the plant, water provided to the plants, grazing of the field, etc. was being monitored by us. Plants were suggested by us as well as the court, and after sustainable efforts of almost nine months, the dumpyard has been converted into a green space which is now not only benefitting the landowners but the people of Delhi too.”

4,900 TREES PLANTED

Around 4,900 trees have been planted in the area which has a survival rate of 90-92 percent. 15-20 percent trees have a height of 6-8 feet, 60 percent trees have a height of 4-5 feet, 20 percent tree have a height of 1-2 feet.

Mr. Pandey said, “Trees are being planted in the area according to the height as an electricity line is passing between the land. Therefore, plants which have more height are not being planted in that specific area. The quality of the soil is also being checked before the plantation.”

The treatment of the plants is also being done in a good manner in which the MSW officials are also lending a helping hand.
