Stalin D, associated with Vanashakti, posted a video on Facebook alleging that MMRC was misleading the authorities and said over a 100 trees are still intact.

MMRC issued a press statement on Monday which said it had cut most of the required trees for the project site. Stalin D said, "The MMRC lawyer told the Supreme Court that it had already cut 2,170 trees. However, the judges refused to accept it."
