This paper highlighted a spate of protests across the city with reference to the Metro car shed. Activists were agitating about the government's decision to put a car shed in Aarey, necessitating the felling of more than 2,000 trees.

Since a month now, protests have intensified. Activists' claim that there is space elsewhere for a car shed (they have stated various alternatives) and it would save the Aarey trees and preserve the green lung in the suburbs. There have been reports about agitations everywhere. On Sunday, activists were stopped from holding their protest at Shivaji Park because permissions were not taken, said the cops.
