The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) appears to be still damaging trees while ‘beautifying’ the city. The civic body is constructing a small barrier between trees on the sidewalk along New Link Road in Andheri West but the debris is being dumped at the base of the trees.

On Friday, when mid-day visited the southbound stretch of the stretch between DN Nagar and the Juhu Vile Parle Development (JVPD) Scheme signal, workers could be seen constructing the small barrier on the footpath. Shockingly, construction material was seen at the base of around five to six trees, which can pose a threat to their lives.
