Green Victory: HC Halts Tribune Flyover Tree Felling

The soul of Chandigarh breathes a sigh of relief today as the Punjab and Haryana High Court stayed the felling of trees for the proposed Tribune Chowk flyover.

The court emphasized that the project threatens the city’s unique heritage character and violates the Chandigarh Master Plan 2031, which prioritizes alternative traffic solutions over flyovers.

Environmentalists are celebrating this as a major win for the "City Beautiful," ensuring that its iconic green canopy remains intact while officials are forced to rethink urban mobility without sacrificing nature.
