BMC Tree Authority Approves 11 Projects Affecting Over 2,800 Trees in Mumbai
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's Tree Authority approved 11 infrastructure projects impacting over 2,800 trees in Mumbai, including the Dharavi Redevelopment Project, which involves felling 871 trees and transplanting 822. Other projects include developments in Borivali, Powai, and Cumballa Hill. Opposition members raised concerns about the city's declining green cover and questioned the effectiveness of tree transplantation efforts. Some proposals were deferred for further review to explore reducing tree loss, and demands were made for site visits to verify compensatory plantation plans.
