[h=1]Two years on, Tilpath Valley Biodiversity Park breathes again[/h] TNN | Updated: Feb 23, 2018, 01:36 IST [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/thumb/msid-63035965,width-400,resizemode-4/63035965.jpg[/IMG] NEW DELHI: Nearly two years after a revival project was taken up, the once barren [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Tilpath-Valley-Biodiversity-Park"]Tilpath Valley Biodiversity Park[/URL] now dons a lush green look. Inaugurated in early January by lieutenant governor Anil Baijal, the valley is open to all interested in nature and wildlife. Scientists said that over the past two years, a number of jackals, rare birds and even leopards had been spotted by locals. [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/img/63035964/Master.jpg[/IMG] Faiyaz Khudsar, the scientist in charge of [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Yamuna-Biodiversity-Park"]Yamuna Biodiversity Park[/URL], said the change in landscape and ecology had brought back a number of species, including [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/leopards-and-jackals"]leopards and jackals[/URL]. Khudsar, who also worked on the revival project, said animals were being mapped and tracked through pressure impression pads (PIP) set up to keep track of species arriving each month. "The park is close to Tughlaqabad and Asola Bhatti Wildlife Sanctuary where leopard pugmarks have been spotted in the past. It is possible that the animal had come from there." Using PIPs, it has been found that large numbers of jackals, mongooses and porcupines have visited the area. "The prey base is building in the form of nilgai, and chances are that predators like leopards will come again," said Khudsar. However, no recent pugmark has been spotted, he added. When the revival work began, the landscape was devoid of vegetation, barring a few trees of prosopis juliflora, known to reduce groundwater levels. Weeds such as lantana and parthenium had also invaded the area. Through a series of plantation campaigns by both Delhi Development Authority and TOI as part of Hero-TOI Green Drive in 2015, over one lakh native saplings were planted, which have already grown 6-8 feet, scientists said. In 2016, TOI planted 20,000 more plants as part of the drive. "A three-storey canopy has been developed at the valley and all native species have been used. The area has been completely revived and birds, butterflies and reptiles have all come back," said C R Babu, the professor emeritus and head of Centre for Environmental Management of Degraded Ecosystems who was also the chief ecologist of the project. At present, there are 115 plant, 103 bird, 32 butterfly, 15 reptile and amphibian, and eight mammalian species in the park.

[B]Grow greens in your backyard, save Delhi[/B] Paras Singh| TNN | Feb 23, 2018, 00:33 IST [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/thumb/msid-62954367,width-400,resizemode-4/62954367.jpg[/IMG] NEW DELHI: Ritu Sachdeva takes refuge in her small rooftop garden whenever the din of the city gets too much for her to handle. "Everyone should grow something green, regardless of how much space they have, especially when the air quality is getting worse by the day," says Sachdeva, a [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/gardening"]gardening[/URL] "veteran" who resides in Rohini, even as she gives an envious look to some rare breeds of cacti at the 31st edition of the garden festival, being held at the [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Garden-of-Five-Senses"]Garden of Five Senses[/URL] in south Delhi's Saket. Developed by the Delhi Tourism and Transportation Development Corporation, the Garden of Five Senses is a park spread over 20 acres near the [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Mehrauli"]Mehrauli[/URL] heritage area. [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/img/62954368/Master.jpg[/IMG] In the backdrop of the deteriorating air quality in the city, the theme of this year's festival is "Grow Garden, Save Delhi". Sudhir Sobti, chief manager, public relations and publicity, DTTDC, said the event aimed to highlight how crucial a role gardening could play in our lives. "We are distributing plants for free and showcasing rare species. At the same time, we are creating a platform for horticulturists from across the country to express themselves," Sobti said. Thirty organisations and agencies are vying for competitions in 100 different categories, such as terrariums, foliage, medicinal plants, flowers, cacti and bonsai, among others. The festival, which started three decades ago at a DDA park in East of Kailash, has found several hosts — from the India Gate lawns to Talkatora Gardens — before finally settling down at the current site in 2005. In line with this year's theme, a dedicated "garden bazaar" has been set up as a one-stop solution for all gardening and landscaping needs of an urban house. "We have all kinds of plants, tools, soil, space-restriction solutions and pots under one roof," Sobti said. Among the participants is a delegation from Northeast that is showcasing local varieties of plants. Rohit Tamang, from Ghising Floraq florists in Darjeeling, said while their collection was only found in hilly areas, with proper care, those plants could flourish in Delhi as well. Ajay Sharma, a cactus expert from Saharanpur, said he had been selling them since 1992. "One you fall in love with plants, there is no turning back," Sharma said.

[h=1]Identify alternative landfill sites within two weeks: NGT[/h] [URL="http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-newdelhi/identify-alternative-landfill-sites-within-two-weeks-ngt/article22830515.ece#"][IMG]http://www.thehindu.com/static/theme/default/base/img/author-deafault.png[/IMG][/URL][URL="http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-newdelhi/identify-alternative-landfill-sites-within-two-weeks-ngt/article22830515.ece#"]STAFF REPORTER[/URL] NEW DELHI, FEBRUARY 23, 2018 00:00 IST UPDATED: FEBRUARY 23, 2018 03:50 IST [h=2]Green panel raps Delhi govt for not submitting action plan[/h] The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has once again rapped the Delhi government for not submitting an action plan for an alternative landfill site. The green panel further gave the State government and the civic bodies two weeks time for identifying alternative landfill sites in the Capital. A Bench headed by judicial member Jawad Rahim said, "Till now the action plan has not been filed. Hence, we direct it should be filed within two weeks from now and we give them a last chance to comply with the order." "In case of any lapse on part of any authority, we shall hold the commissioner of each municipal corporation responsible," Rahim said. "We had directed the Chief Secretary to coordinate and ensure the corporations must meet and dissolve dispute by a decision which should crystallise into action plan. They were directed to file result action plan," the Bench observed. [B]Asks CPCB to comply[/B] The tribunal further directed the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) to comply with the order and "ensure steps are taken for compliance with the order". The panel had on February 3 convened a meeting with officials from the State government, the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) and others over identification of alternative landfill sites and the setting-up of waste-to-energy plants. [B]'Irresponsible attitude'[/B] Rapping the authorities, the tribunal had said last year, "It is unfortunate that all public authorities have taken a number of hearings without coming up with constructive suggestions to deal with the waste in Delhi. It is a case of irresponsible attitude by concerned stakeholders. We are pained to know that all that happens is shifting of responsibility and fail to understand why the authorities cannot put concerted efforts to resolve the issue with respect to site selection."
