Fadnavis on Aarey

The CM was also questioned on the decision of the axing of  2,700 trees in the Aarey forest. Over one lakh people objected to the proposal which called for a public meeting. The public meeting was attended by Zoru Darius, who was the first one to question the chopping of the trees, along with 500 other people to protest against the decision. The felling of the trees in the Mumbai Aarey colony is to happen for the construction of a car shed for the metro in the Aarey colony.
