Maharashtra Congress President Harshwardhan Sapkal on Thursday threatened to move court against Torrent Power’s proposed project in the Karjat-Bhimashankar region of Raigad district, alleging that it would lead to large-scale tree-felling in the Sahyadri region, news agency PTI reported.
After inspecting the proposed project site and interacting with local villagers, Sapkal accused the BJP-led Mahayuti government of allowing extensive tree-felling to facilitate the project.
