The National Green Tribunal has refused to order demolition of Siri Fort Sports Complex in New Delhi. It held that the entire complex would not be put to any kind of commercial use or non-sport activities. The green panel, however, said projects in green areas should not be constructed in a casual manner.<br/><br/>Disposing of a bunch of petitions, the bench declined relief to the petitioner seeking demolition of the Complex including the stadia and different facilities. A bench headed by NGT Chairperson Justice Swatanter Kumar yesterday noted that the Delhi Development Authority has raised unauthorised construction by felling trees on the forest land and directed it to pay one crore rupees for rehabilitation and restoration of the area.
