Contract workers have begun clearing debris around trees along New Link Road

Local environmentalists criticised BMC for the debris accumulation around the trees
After mid-day’s report on the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation’s (BMC) beautification project impacting trees along New Link Road in Andheri West, the contracted workers have begun clearing debris. The article highlighted how the civic body’s initiative involved constructing barriers around trees but ended up dumping debris at their base.
During a visit on Friday along the southbound stretch between DN Nagar and the Juhu Vile Parle Development (JVPD) Scheme signal, workers were seen installing barriers on the footpath. Concerningly, construction materials were found near five to six trees, posing a threat to their survival.
