SC stays tree-felling at Aarey till October 21, but 98% already cut

The Supreme Court on Monday asked the Maharashtra government to stop cutting trees in Aarey Colony and directed it to maintain status quo till the next hearing on October 21. But the damage may have already been done with the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC) saying it has chopped down 2,141 trees. That’s 98% of the 2,185 MMRC had sought to chop for the car shed.
