BJP leader Surendra Singh had filed a petition in the NGT against the Seven Wonders Park and the food court, following which the tribunal had ordered their removal in December 2022. Appeals were later also filed in the Supreme Court.

"NGT had observed that the construction was carried out by destroying the wetland and ignoring the master plan. It had also expressed concern that continuous development was harming the ecological balance of the lake," he said.

He added that action was finally taken nearly two years after the NGT's order.
