GURUGRAM: Greens are up in arms, following reports that a huge number of trees had been burnt down in the 500m stretch along Najafgarh drain on the Haryana-Delhi border last week.TOI visited the spot on Wednesday, and identified 50 tree stumps and 16 trees burnt along the drain between Shani Mandir and Shadipur. “I was shocked to see so many trees burnt down on either side of the road. There were remnants of trees that had been axed and burnt on either side of the road that runs along the drain. “The trees were cleared using trucks over two days after the fire. A passerby said there was a massive fire, but to me it looks like an encroachment attempt,” said Dwarka Expressway resident Anindita, who reported the violation.Locals said most of the burnt trees were cleared using trucks..
