We’ve come bearing bad news for nature lovers. Almost 452 fully-grown trees coming in the way of proposed road connecting the Coastal Road at Worli to Sewri leading to the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link will be cut. Activist Godfrey Pimenta has written to the Chief Minister, requesting that this be stopped.

In a bid to save these trees from being cut, Pimenta of NGO Watchdog Foundation has written to the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM), Gardens Department of BMC, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, Chief Secretary of Maharashtra and Secretary of Ministry of Environment and Forest & Climate Change.
