Kranji woodland cleared by mistake; NParks investigating


The Straits Times
Land along Rail Corridor was cleared before environmental assessments were completed
Aerial photos of Kranji woodland taken in May 2019 and this month. The photo taken this month shows a narrow strip of trees near the Rail Corridor, with much of the rest cleared. Beginning at the end of last December, green patches were cleared on the site, which is slated for the Agri-Food Innovation Park - part of Sungei Kadut Eco-District. On discovering the mistake during a site inspection on Jan 13, JTC Corporation instructed its contractor, Huationg, to stop all clearing work immediately. No further clearing has taken place at the site since then.PHOTOS: COURTESY OF BRICE LI ....
