In view of the Holi 2025 festival, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has warned residents against cutting trees and said a police complaint will be filed against unauthorised tree felling.

The Holika Dahan rituals will be followed on Thursday. "During this festival period, if any tree cutting is observed, vigilant citizens are requested to inform Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation officers or the local police station, or contact the corporation's toll-free number, 1916," urged Jitendra Pardeshi, the Garden Superintendent and Member Secretary of the Tree Authority, on behalf of the administration.
