Nature remains far from Vasant Kunj!
Those were the days when Vasant Kunj residents used to sight nilgai, deer, and wild hare easily in the 600-acre kikar forest.
Now, with the rising urbanization and increase in population, one can only see traffic, mounds of construction rubble and garbage.
The Rajokri forest, which used to be a forest reserve, now has become an urban town.
The houses in Church Road also had gardens in the vicinity which has now turned into barren land.
The Church Road Resident Welfare Association also says that the number of trees have reduced with the years and the small ponds and lakes have also shrunk in size.
There had been large number of illegal construction and dumping of garbage in the neighbourhood increasing the problem.
