Of the 137 trees transplanted in Juhu, 73 have died
While the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation( MMRC) has always portrayed itself as a nature-friendly organisation, the situation on ground is quite contrary. It has been recently revealed that over 50 per cent of the trees that were uprooted by the MMRC from the Santacruz area over a year ago and transplanted on a plot in Juhu are dead.
According to an environmental activist, the MMRC had pulled out 137 trees from locations close to the proposed metro stations of Santacruz Airport, Sahar Road and International Airport.
