The Aarey Milk Colony’s green cover is set to get some tender, loving care. Save Aarey, a citizens’ group fighting the plan to cut trees to make way for a Metro rail car shed in the area, chalking out an initiative to double the number of trees in the next five to 10 years.

It will not only plant more saplings, beginning next month, but will also regularly monitor and inspect their growth to ensure that they survive and become sturdy trees.
