Kolkata metro project: No tree felling or transplantation without CEC permission, says SC

The Supreme Court ruled that tree felling for the Kolkata metro project near Victoria Memorial must have the Central Empowered Committee's approval. This decision came after a plea against the felling of over 900 trees. The metro project aims to decongest roads but raised concerns about environmental impact. The case has been sent to the Central Empowered Committee for further examination.
