As many as 91 trees could be sent to the chopping block to clear the way for the Dahisar-Andheri East Metro line 7 and the Dahisar-D N Nagar Metro line 2A. The BMC issued a public notice to this effect, barely a fortnight after similarly announcing that 444 trees were to be cut in Aarey Colony for Metro 3 (Colaba-Bandra-Seepz).

A majority of the trees are to be cut opposite the Sanjay Gandhi National Park, as they are too close to the Metro 7 corridor
