Aarey Milk Colony's green activists won't let the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC) sneakily violate National Green Tribunal (NGT) orders. Over the weekend and on Monday, conservationists associated with Save Aarey filed three police complaints against MMRC for carrying out construction on the Metro site, an act which clearly goes against NGT's order to maintain status quo in the space.

Amrita Bhattacharjee, who is associated with the Aarey Conservation Group (ACG) said, "Even as the matter related to Aarey Milk Colony and the Metro III car depot is being heard before NGT's Pune bench, the honourable NGT has asked for maintaining status quo, which means that no construction activity should be done. But MMRC is carrying out work on the car depot plot and an adjoining plot, which is a clear-cut violation of NGT orders. From the last three days, nature lovers have filed at least three complaints with the Aarey police station regarding the same but the work is still in progress."
