In yet another setback to the Mayawati government, the Supreme Court on Friday stopped all building and construction activities in the

upcoming Noida park, which is also being developed as a memorial for Dalit leader Kanshi Ram and the present Uttar Pradesh chief minister.

A bench of Chief Justice K.G. Balakrishnan, Justice S.H. Kapadia and Justice Aftab Alam imposed the ban on construction activities till Oct 26.

The ban was imposed during the hearing of an application by apex court-appointed Central Empowered Committee which had objected to the development of the park after cutting down over 6,000 trees.
