The marshland at Wadala, where the trees are to be transplanted

Even as the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC) said it would transplant 109 trees uprooted from Cuffe Parade for Metro-III, green activists who visited the Wadala site, where the trees are going to be relocated, found that the area is unsuitable for tree growth. An activist claimed that the land allocated in Wadala is marshy and not a single tree is likely to survive there.
