The city’s green cover has once again become a casualty in the cause of development. The Mumbai Metropolitan Rail Corporation (MMRC) has asked the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to remove more than 40 trees at Wadala, near Bhakti Park, where the casting yard for the metro rail project, which is coming up between Andheri (E) and Dahisar (E), will come up where pillars and girders will be manufactured.
