The Bombay High Court on Friday ordered the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Limited (MMRCL) to not cut down any of the 177 trees at Aarey Colony for the Metro 3 car shed project, as per the permission granted by BMC Tree Authority, until the Supreme Court decides on the matter.
A division bench of Acting Chief Justice Sanjay V Gangapurwala and Justice Sandeep V Marne passed an order in a fresh PIL by environmental activist Zoru Bhathena challenging the March 15 permission granted by BMC’s Tree Authority for felling of 177 trees.
