Ongoing concretization and landscaping work in Matunga's Western Railway (WR) colony is posing a threat to its trees and plants, a resident has alleged. The work has been going on for the past one week to make space for parking vehicles.

The resident said, "WR authorities are carrying out work inside the Matunga WR colony, which includes laying down roads and landscaping to make parking space. But the sorry part is that [in front of the Balmandir area] they are least bothered about the trees and plants. The concrete is being poured close to the trees near building number 79 and 88. If it is not removed, the trees might die."
