It has come to light that stones have been dumped at the base of at least 10 trees amid repair work inside the compound of the VIP guest house at Aarey Milk Colony, indicating that the authorities couldn’t care less about nature. A chain-link fence is also being erected by workers around the complex.
A pedestrian who did not wish to be named told mid-day he was witness to the sorry sight. “The VIP guest house stands on a hillock with dense forest cover. The need of the hour is to protect the green cover but recently when I visited the area, I was shocked to see that the base of the trees was covered with stones. This needs to be stopped because if they pour concrete around the trees, they might die,” the pedestrian said.
