The preservation of a 150-year-old banyan tree in Old Delhi will now be monitored by the forest department and other agencies, according to a recent directive from the high court. The tree had been damaged during construction but was restored. The court ordered periodic inspections by the local tree officer and the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) to ensure its preservation. The court also noted previous steps taken to secure the tree and decided to end its monitoring after binding the authorities to track its welfare.
