Latest News The Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered the demolition of structures built after August 18, 1992, at Faridabad's Kant Enclave, saying they were built on forest land. “The demolition should be completed on or before December 31, 2018,� a bench of Justice Madan B Lokur and Justice Deepak Gupta ordered.

The bench lashed out at R Kant & Co, which carried out construction in the area, and the state government for allowing it. It said there was no doubt that irreversible damage has been caused to the environment and ecology of the Aravalli hills.

"There is no doubt that at the end of the day, the state of Haryana comes out in very poor light and must be held accountable for its conflicting and selfdestructive stand taken in spite of affidavits filed by the Chief Secretary of the State of Haryana from time to time supporting the Forest Department," news agency Press Trust of India reported.
