Delhi's ruling AAP on Monday welcomed the NGT's decision to put on hold the plan of axing trees in the city, but accused the Central government for not informing the green tribunal about their plans to redesign the redevelopment project. "AAP welcomes the order of NGT to stall any tree cutting by Central government's NBCC redevelopment," Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief spokesperson Saurabh Bhardwaj said in a tweet.

He accused Union Urban Affairs Minister Hardeep Singh Puri of submitting a statement, different from their previous statement, to the National Green Tribunal (NGT) about the replanning of the redevelopment project. Why did Central Govt's NBCC Advocate not state NGT that they are replanning the whole project? Hardeep Singh Puri sir, your Dept's Media statement and Court statement are different," he said.
