Kejriwal alleges DDA not cooperating in tree plantation drive, writes to LG

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today wrote to Lt Governor Anil Baijal urging him to direct the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) to participate in "mega plantation drive" to be conducted on September 8 as it had "refused" to do so.

The chief minister shot off the letter to the Lieutenant Governor after he held a review meeting where a junior level officer from DDA participated, according to Kejriwal.

In his letter to Baijal, Kejriwal alleged that the DDA refused to participate in the Delhi government's plantation drive.

A senior DDA official rejected the allegation, saying, "a top official of its landscape department, of the rank of additional commissioner, attended the meeting on behalf of the urban body."
