NEW DELHI: Over 800 logs of trees were found buried at the elite Delhi Golf Club that were reportedly cut without permission from the authorities, a Forest Department official said.
Out of the 895 logs, 424 big logs of trees were found. Some logs were in a decayed state, indicating that they were buried some time ago, while some appeared to have been freshly cut, the official said. He said the Forest Department suspected that the trees were cut without permission and the logs were buried in pits especially dug for this purpose.
The official said 895 logs were found during an ongoing probe which would soon be completed and a report would be submitted.
The police said a complaint has been registered against unknown people for allegedly cutting the trees without permission and action would be taken after the Forest Department completes its probe.
The Delhi government said that the range officer of the south division of the Forest department had filed a complaint with the Hazrat Nizamuddin police station over illegally cutting the trees.
