Pravin Darekar, the leader of opposition in the Maharashtra Legislative Council, on Sunday lashed out at the government over illegal hacking of trees in state environment minister Aaditya Thackeray’s own constituency, Worli, a day after World Environment Day.

He alleged that nearly 25-30 trees were cut down in Worli for better visibility of advertisement hoardings. Darekar along with BJP Mumbai chief Mangal Lodha and others on Sunday morning visited the site where the trees were chopped off.
