It can strengthen the public transport net- work of India’s “Maximum City” and prove, as is being adver- tised, to be its clever “solution for (air) pollution”. It will also Mspare a large number of citizens using the Mumbai local train net- work their daily struggle for space. To bring the Metro car to these citizens, the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation, along with the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, has been planning since 2015 to build a yard on 74 acres in Aarey Milk Colony, a suburb in the eastern part of the city. What, however, is the cost of this plan? Not much, say the authorities, it is 2,700 fully grown trees — and an ecosys- tem comprising 290 wild species, of which five, including leopards, are on the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) red list. New species of jumping spiders were discovered here as late as in 2016. There are 27 Adivasi villages in the colony, the residents of which complain of moves to declare these as slums and of a “sense that they are being targeted”. But environmentalists have warned that deforestation in Aarey Colony, which serves as a giant soakpit in the catchment area of the Mithi, can lead LETTERS to worse flooding next year, dividing Twitterati.
