There is a plan to cut over 1000 trees in and around the University Sports Complex
(Cavalry Lane, Woodlands behind the University Press, etc.) in order to expand the
existing sports complex and construct a Rugby Stadium on it. Although the authorities
have largely remained silent over this issue and no one is revealing the exact details,
newspapers such as the Hindustan Times have constantly been reporting the same.
We feel that creating such a Rugby complex will not only affect and irreversibly change
the ambient University environment; it will also be a useless change of land use since
Rugby is not even a popular sport in this country. At the same time, this change will
come at much loss to the beauty and biodiversity of the Campus.

4. Would you like to know about the issues of cutting of more than 1000 trees in the
Campus and keep yourself updated about it?
5. For every tree cut, 10 saplings will be planted ‘elsewhere’, which will be as tall as the
existing trees after some 30 years (if they survive). Do you think this is adequate and will
undo the damage?
