Stressing the importance of citizens’ voices, non-profit Vanashakti has urged state environment minister Aaditya Thackeray to allow counting of trees felled at the now-abandoned Metro carshed site in Aarey Colony. 

The request by the NGO comes at a time when the state government has set up a new committee to look for land for the Metro 3 car depot. Vanashakti has accused an earlier committee formed for the same purpose of ignoring public opinion.
