The Aarey Milk Colony is set to lose another 1,500 sq metres of land as a CNG fuel station is coming up close to Western Express Highway. A city-based environmentalist, Stalin D, has alleged that dumping of mud and land levelling is being carried out at the site. He has appealed to authorities to protect the trees on the land in the Aarey colony. Stalin has written a letter to the collector, Mumbai Suburban, the superintendent of gardens (BMC), the municipal commissioner, the Aarey Milk Colony CEO and the principal secretary of the environment department.
This is to highlight the ongoing dumping of mud and levelling that is going on at CTS number 589A inside Aarey colony. The land, which is along the Western Express Highway, is being levelled and trees are on the verge of being eliminated from the site,” the letter states.
