Mumbai civic body gave nod to remove 8,775 trees in 2018 for urban projects

April 10, 2019

The tree authority of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) issued permissions for the removal of 8,775 trees in 2018, revealed a study of newspaper advertisements issued by the BMC last year. The data was collated by activist Zoru Bathena. Although some of these are proposals and have not resulted in trees actually being felled, the published notices add up to an average loss of 24 trees per day in 2018.
