350 trees to be cut for development projects

MUMBAI: In yet another incident of green cover being sacrificed for developmental projects, about 350 trees will be hacked by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) in western suburbs mostly to felicitate housing projects.

The civic body on Friday has issued a public notice saying that civic tree authority has received proposals for its permission to remove 349 trees in western suburbs of Bandra, Santacruz and Andheri. Majority of the proposal are for the housing projects under the slum rehabilitation authority (SRA).

The maximum 194 trees will be chopped for the redevelopment project of MIG Group at Gandhi Nagar, Bandra to set up a basement at the project. In addition to this, 47 trees will be removed for the proposed construction of Indian Packaging Industry in Marol Industrial Area, Andheri. Two proposed SRA projects at Andheri East have also asked for permission to hack 32 trees each.

"The cutting of trees cannot be avoided for these projects. But we will make sure that minimum number of trees would be cut for this project," said a senior civic official.

The civic body has asked for suggestions and objections from people within seven days of the issuance of notice. The proposal will then be tabled for approval before the civic tree authority in its next meeting.

According to the rules, if a tree has hacked for the developmental projects, at least two trees in lieu of this have to be planted at other places. However, once permission to axe trees was given, the developer ignores it and does not plant trees, say civic officials.
