Trees along the Andheri Metropolitan Court road have received a breather, literally, as concrete that surrounded them has been cleared. The area around the base of the trees has now been replaced with red soil by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation.

On March 12, mid-day had highlighted that concrete had been filled in around the trees at Court Lane, and the BMC’s garden department had started an inquiry into the issue. This week the K East ward office team and garden department team removed the concrete and filled the space with red soil.
