Bombay HC asks MMRCL not to fell 177 trees at Aarey Colony until SC decides
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.
