147 trees marked for cutting on LBS Marg

On 28th October 10:30 am a Chipko campaign is being organised for the trees. Mr. Sunderlal Bahugna of the original Chipko movement and Mr. Kisan Mehta of Save Bombay Committee who has over the decades been successful in saving many such trees in Mumbai will be joining the march from Vikhroli to Mulund.

To participate please come out and congregate around the nearest tree. Mr. Bahugna will be passing but in a march along the route.

See what the pictures say

1.)

A large raintree opposite Huma Adlabs in Kanjur Marg

2.)

Two rain trees in front of Huma Adlabs. How much widening is possible by cutting them? What about the thousands of people at the Bus Stop who find shade?

3.)

The picture says it all.

4.)

Sections of the road in Bhandup are heavily constricted because of man made structures and parking which really impedes traffic movement. How about starting widening here first?

5.)

Large rain trees opposite Johnson and Johnson. What is achieved by cutting these. Is the current carriage way anyway not much than the one in picture 4 above?

6.)

Trees to be felled have been marked with red crosses like these.

7.)

What about widening stretches like these?

8.)

Trees are being cut on stretches like these.
