While the city is enjoying the Metro, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation is clueless as to whether the trees, which were uprooted to make way for the project, have been transplanted elsewhere in the city. The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) was told to transplant 912 trees, cleared to make way for the Metro.

MMOPL says it has transplanted 639 of the 912 trees uprooted for the Metro, and will do the rest soon. File pic
