PM Modi's house revamp debris choke Teen Murti woods

There is some bad news for nature lovers in the Capital. The dense woods of Teen Murti Bhavan complex, a rich bird habitat, is facing danger allegedly from its neighbourhood - 7, RCR - the Prime Minister's residence. A massive amount of construction debris, coming from renovation work at the PM house according to an official, has been dumped here and trees slaughtered indiscriminately.
At least a three-hectare forest area in the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library (NMML) complex has been ruined. Adult trees of neem, karanj and putranjiva have been axed, dense undergrowth of shrubs razed and mounds of construction debris dumped in their place.
An official of the Central Public Works Department (CPWD) admitted that the debris was dumped in the Teen Murti Bhavan complex but did not confirm where it was coming from. In an apparent attempt to cover up, he said the contractor had 'by mistake' dumped the malba here. However, Dr N Balakrishnan, Officer on Special Duty (OSD) at NMML, told Mail Today, "It (the debris) was from the 7, Race Course Road. But the moment we realised the damage, we stopped the work. Bulldozers have also been removed."
