Actor Amitabh Bachhan's tweet on how beneficial the Metro was for the city has not gone down well with environmental activists, leading to a protest right outside his residence. Strengthening their voices of dissent against the decision to cut over 2,700 trees to pave way for the Metro III car shed, a group of protesters reached Bachhan's Juhu residence Jalsa with placards and posters on Wednesday morning and staged a demonstration against his support to the project.

Gardening a solution?

Bachhan had tweeted on September 17 saying, "T 3290 – Friend of mine had a medical emergency, decided to take METRO instead of his car…came back very impressed…said was faster, convenient and most efficient…solution for pollution...grow more trees…I did in my garden…have you."
