BOMBAY TIMES (September 2, 2019)

Citizens’ groups from across the city held protests against the move to axe more than 2,000 trees in Aarey Colony to build the Metro 3 car shed. Carrying posters and banners that said, ‘Save Aarey’, ‘Aarey bachao’, ‘Yes to Metro, no to Metro car shed’, ‘Mumbai ki jaan’, ‘You can ignore us, but you will regret it’, ‘We don’t need development at the cost of environment’, Mumbaikars of all ages stepped out in the pouring rain to voice their concern.

Actress Shraddha Kapoor also showed her support for the environmental damage that the axing of trees would result in. Dressed in a white tee, which had ‘Save Aarey’ written on it, she urged authorities to rethink their decision of cutting tees in Aarey Colony.
