DU Campaign: Save Trees Facing Axe for Commonwealth Games
Delhi University's teachers and students on Monday launched a campaign to save age-old trees being eiher axed or replanted.

"This ground is home to one of the most exotic species of trees in the country. I will protect them at any cost." Jayathi.
DU Students Plan a Biodiversity Count
How many trees are there on the Delhi University campus? What all species of insects and birds are generally found in the campus?
Missing Trees for the Woods
However the University admitted that the markings on the trees were done in a crude manner but also claimed that "not a single tree has been removed".
Marked for Death, Dying
Even if some of the 1000 trees marked for DU's expansion plans escape the axe, they may not survive the callous hands that have already damaged them.

"This is absolutely no way of marking the trees. I will probe the matter." Deepak Pental, Vice Chancellor, University of Delhi.
