#SupremeCourtofIndia #SupremeCourt #Aarey Image
CJI DY Chandrachud: BMC, we gave you permission to move the tree authority for felling 84 trees. On 19th Dec 2022, you sought permission to fell 84 trees. And in Jan you ask for 185 trees, in March the supreitendent fell more...

#SupremeCourtofIndia #SupremeCourt #Aarey
CJI DY Chandrachud: How can you move for felling anymore trees in excess of 84 trees? You're in contempt of our order. You cannot go above the Court's order. The Superintendent should also go to jail.

What #lies you will be fed over next few days when it comes to #Aarey

#Influencers telling you how the car-shed in Aarey is not damaging ecology of a leopard🐆 habitat.

#Kanjurmarg, is not feasible because of litigation when truth is there actually was a proposal to save it.
How previous projects inside #AareyForest automatically allows construction of a massive #MetroCarShed in eco-sensitive area. Because the best way to move forward is to repeat the past.

Everyone fighting to save Aarey are rich people who never travel in local trains.

#lies
There will be massive cost escalation if car shed is shifted & moved to #Kanjurmarg plot where a car-shed is planned anyway for another line.

Truth is, costs may rise but #Mumbai can afford few thousand crores to save a crucial green lung & leopard 🐆 habitat.

MUMBAI NEEDS METRO!
But India haters (disguised as environment activists) don't want you to know the facts about #AareyForest & #MumbaiMetro3
No need trolling bollywood actors who get trapped by the falsehood propagators!
I share facts in this thread:
Faketivists know that 'in the celebration of being a celebrity, its important to feel passionate about environmental concerns.'
So, they use the soft target (Bollywood actors) to obstruct every high importance infra project.
Aam Janata mock/troll them. Real culprits hide behind.
More than 3000 people DIE on Mumbai rails every year. ALMOST 8 EVERYDAY!
Faketivists never protest to make travel human for millions of working-class citizens of Mumbai - who travel Borivali to Churchgate, Dombivili to Byculla in insanely crowded locals everyday, suffer the most.

At the Supreme Court for the hearing on the #AareyForest case.

On 7 October, special bench of Justices Arun Mishra and Deepak Gupta had stayed the cutting of trees by Mumbai Metro authorities for a metro car shed.

The case reached the SC because the MMRCL moved to cut down around 2600 trees on the night of 4 October, just hours after the Bombay HC dismissed a bunch of petitions that had challenged the tree-felling.

Legal issues at play @TheQuint :
www-thequint-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.thequi…
On 7 October, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta had informed the SC that "Whatever had to be cut has been cut. No further cutting of trees is required."

Afterwards, MMRCL clarified that 2141 trees had been cut, and that the SC hadn't prohibited them from construction.

No Mumbaikar will ever protest against the Metro.Those who live & commute in Mumbai are well aware how Metro has turned out to be a boon for the locals. With the current infrastructure stretched beyond a point, Metro is the need of the hour.

“We did not want to be rehabilitated in a 220sq ft flat outside our forest. It was as if we had neither a village nor a country...Our financial difficulties have made us pick up the sickle, shovel & broom,but drop the brush,”says Shamu Barap,a #Warli resident of SGNP in Borivali. ImageImage
Adjoining #AareyForest, the #Warlis who have lived in the Sanjay Gandhi National park too fear being uprooted. For decades,they have lived without adequate water or other facilities, fearing relocation. In this struggle for a livelihood, they have lost their distinctive #art. ImageImage

India has INCREASED its leaf area way above the global average.

Maharashtra has PLANTED 240 million trees in the last 3 yrs.

Aarey is NOT Forest Land.

Metro will DECREASE net Carbon footprint.

High Court has GIVEN the go-ahead to cut 2700 trees.

ONLY the irrational object.
"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." - Hanlon's Razor.

I wonder if these so-called activists have even read the carefully considered and crafted judgement of the hon'ble High Court. Read it here: drive.google.com/file/d/1CXT1iM… (via @logical_vhi)
For those spreading Fake News about the 15 days cooling-off period not adhered to, here is the Order.

Note the date of issue. Do the math. Or if you are a Leftist and can't, ask your neighbour to do it for you.

Why selective protest against, 'Metro Shed' only, while there is absolute silence on 'Film City'& 'Royal Palms' etc. #AareyExpose

Just think...
This photo explains a lot. Just see how tiny area will be used for metro car shed. Look at the yellow part.

So why this HALLA GULLA over a small area which is given for construction of #MetroRailway3
Why is Catholic church up in arms against this project ?

I live in Goregaon and go for my morning jogs to Aarey hence speak witha certain knowledge of the area.
Some pictures for apreciation of a wider audience. #AareyForest #aarey 1/n
Aarey is dotted with cattle shed, government quaters, entertainment aeeas, shops etc the attached bifurcation of areas by use is enlightening. Can it be called a forest?
A view of the cattle sheds and the grasslands the primary purpose of Aareys existence
