The Delhi High Court pulled up the AAP government's forest department Monday for its "recalcitrance" in complying with directions to ensure 1.4 lakh saplings are planted in the central ridge area here.
After the government informed the court till date only 3,500 saplings have been planted and another 2,500 would be planted by the end of this week, Justice Najmi Waziri said, "I see a lot of recalcitrance at your (forest department) end."
To this the court replied, "There would be 10 people ready to carry out drone photography, but you cannot do it? For a marriage ceremony you will get so many people with drones to take photos from every angle. Pay some of them Rs 10,000 and they will cover the entire ridge for you."
