India cricketer Rohit Sharma said yesterday it is not worth cutting down the trees in Aarey Colony as there is slight greenery in the city of Mumbai because of that patch.

Rohit Sharma took to social media website Twitter to voice his opinion. He tweeted: "Even if there is more to the story, nothing is worth cutting down something so vital. Part of Mumbai being slightly greener & slight difference in the temperature is mainly because of #AareyColony. How can we take that away, not to mention thousands of animals will displace."
