To make way for the upcoming Metro III, Churchgate lost more of its green cover, as trees were chopped near Samrat Hotel and Kasturi Building on Wednesday

Social worker Mani Gopalkrishnan was passing by J Tata Road when he saw trees being chopped off for the upcoming Metro III line. In a spontaneous last dash to save the trees, he started an impromptu protest and even managed to call in two other protesters who were nearby to rabble rouse. Ultimately though, the trees were cut and the three detained by the Marine Drive police that took them in for questioning before letting them leave.
