Civic body sends notice to railways for hacking down three fully-grown bottle palm trees near Thane station's platform 1; latter claims it was for passenger safety

With so much smog in the air and so less green on the ground, this is definitely worrying news - the Central Railway (CR) hacking three fully-grown bottle palm trees opposite Thane station's platform 1. And the Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) too isn't happy about it. On Wednesday, it slapped notice on CR for its action, done without permission.
