Versova Residents Protest Tree Cutting for Mumbai Coastal Road Project Phase 2

Residents of Mumbai's Versova area are protesting the proposed cutting of trees, including a culturally significant baobab on Lokhandwala Back Road, for the Coastal Road Project's Phase 2. Environmentalists and local groups urge the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to consider transplanting the baobab and finding alternatives to preserve green spaces like Nana Nani Park. BMC officials acknowledge partial impact on the park but emphasize efforts to minimize damage while proceeding with development plans.
