As the car depot has been shifted from Aarey Colony to Kanjurmarg, the tin sheets installed surrounding the site will be removed in coming days following the site closure instructions given to MMRCL by the government.

Talking to mid-day, sources from Forest Department, who did not wish to be named, said that once the site is opened, the camera trapping exercise would also be carried out on the plot to study the movement of wild animals. "The information that we have received is that the site closure instructions have been given to MMRCL by the state government. In the coming days, the work of removing the tin sheets surrounding the car depot plot at Aarey Colony will begin and post that we have plans to install camera traps in the area to monitor the wildlife activity on the plot," the source said.
