It is full throttle for green warriors battling to save nearly 400 trees from being removed at Malabar Hill for a new water reservoir.

For a few days now, reports have been coming in about residents and environmentalists urging officials to look for an alternative towards a new water reservoir in the area. The existing plan will entail cutting 389 trees in the area, affecting Hanging Garden and the Shantivan garden behind. This means reduction of substantial green cover and though there are plans to transplant 200 trees, these are to be transplanted in faraway Bhandup.
