DEHRADUN: Even as activists are up in arms at the felling of trees for the Delhi-Dehradun expressway and fighting a legal battle against the felling of over 2,000 trees along the Sahastradhara-Jogiwala road, the state government has decided to fell another 2,155 trees for the upcoming new assembly building in Bhopalpani area of Raipur.
The building will be constructed at a cost of Rs 470 crore on around 60 hectares of reserved forests in Raipur's Bhopalpani area, which is close to the buffer zone of Shivalik Elephant Reserve.
