The Save Aarey cause is gathering more momentum by the day. On Wednesday, legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar voiced her support for the green belt that faces threat over plans of construction of the Metro car depot. On Tuesday evening, Amit — son of MNS leader Raj Thackeray—also released a video pledging his support to the over 2,000 trees in Aarey that face an axe.
To cut down 2700 trees and invade the natural habitat for so many species would be a tragedy. I firmly oppose this move and I earnestly request the government to look into this matter and save the forest.#SaveAareyForest
