The order of the National Green Tribunal stating that no construction should be allowed in Aarey Milk Colony (AMC) and that the BMC should not give any NOC (no-objection certificate) to anyone for construction, has left the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC) in a quandary, as the option of constructing a car depot in Aarey is now completely closed.

The Metro-III planned to use 74 acres of Aarey land for a car shed. This would have entailed felling of more than 2,000 trees. But with the Green Tribunal order, no construction can take place on Aarey land. File pic
