<p>The Uttarakhand High Court on Wednesday stayed the felling of 3,000 trees for the widening of the Rishikesh-Bhaniyawala road.</p>
<p>A division bench of Chief Justice G Narendar and Justice Ashish Naithani was hearing a PIL filed by Dehradun resident Renu Pal.</p>
<p>The petitioner's advocate, Abhijay Negi, argued before the court that the widening of the road would obstruct elephant corridors.</p>
<p>Responding to this, the state government told the court that it would ensure that the movement of elephants was not obstructed.</p>
<p>However, the bench asked the government to present before it all the necessary permissions in this regard.</p>
<p>The court had earlier provided protection to the Shivalik Elephant Reserve in a similar case.&nbsp;</p>
