The permissions were granted in 2007 to cut and transplant trees from the plot for the project which is still going on at Springs Complex, Wadala

The BMC's Tree Authority has made it clear that Bombay Dyeing had been granted permission to cut trees in 2007 for a project on a plot owned by it in Wadala, and they are still being cut as the work for it is going on. On Tuesday night, a message was circulated on WhatsApp, saying, 'Bombay Dyeing is cutting all the trees within Springs Complex. Large giant trees with nesting herons etc. Need instant media attention,' following which green activists had accused the company of cutting the trees in violation of norms.
