Aarey Forest: The Supreme Court was hearing an application that alleged that authorities have resumed cutting down trees in the Aarey colony.
The Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (MMRCL) on Friday told the Supreme Court that no trees have been cut in Mumbai's Aarey colony after October 2019.
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for MMRCL, told a bench headed by Justice U U Lalit that he had made a statement before the Supreme court in 2019 that no further cutting of trees will be done for a metro car shed in Aarey colony and after that, no trees have been cut there. "There is a statement which I had made that there will not be any further cutting of trees and I have filed an affidavit today that thereafter, there has never been any cutting of trees," Mehta told the bench, also comprising Justices Aniruddha Bose and S R Bhat.
The top court was hearing an application that alleged that authorities have resumed cutting down trees in the Aarey colony.
Mehta said some bushes were there on the ground which have been cleared and some branches were trimmed so that vehicles could pass on an approach road there.
