The area near Aarey Milk Colony continued to resemble a fortress on Sunday, with hundreds of cops shutting off entry points, including from WEH Goregaon, from Powai near Filterpada and from Marol. Those staying inside Aarey had to show their identity cards or address proof to be allowed inside. Furious family members and friends of those arrested for protesting against the chopping of trees in Aarey vented their anger at the government at a press conference at Goregaon East.
