While Western Railway authorities and BMC maintain that permissions were granted for trimming of trees, locals lament loss of greenery

On the way to Altamount Road, Mukesh Ambani’s Antilia dwarfs every other structure around it. One such structure is a 1925 heritage bungalow, Bombarci, belonging to the Western Railway. Over the past few days, the WR authorities claim they are carrying out beautification work on the garden of the bungalow, for which trees have been cut. However, locals claim that the trees were nearly 20 years old, and question if they had permissions to cut them.
