Reacting to the response by MMRC, Rishav Ranjan said that the reply exactly shows the dubious concern of MMRC for environment and citizens

While there is a debate going on between city based green activists and those supporting the cutting of trees at metro car shed whether the cutting of trees was a right decision, a fourth year law student, identified as Rishav Ranjan, who was part of the student delegation that had written a letter to CJI Ranjan Gogoi seeking intervention in the tree cutting issue at Aarey on Thursday had also written a letter to Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation stating that MMRC should have not cut the trees and maintained status quo until the judgment is delivered.
It must be noted that Ranjan had written a letter to MMRC on October 8 requesting, "Request to stop all construction activities in Aarey for following the orders of Hon'ble Supreme Court in Suo Moto Writ Petition (Civil) No.2/2019."
