Maharashtra: Metro-3 depot back in Aarey Colony

Hindustan Times  

The movement to protect Aarey Colony as a legal forest, which began in response to the proposed Metro-3 car shed at Prajapurpada village, marks one of the most heated debates around conservation and urban development in Mumbai’s recent past. Soon after the HC’s ruling, the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation chopped 98% of the 2,185 trees in that site In October 2019, the Bombay high court quashed a clutch of petition by environmentalists that sought to declare a 33-acre plot in the city’s green lung as a legal forest under the Indian Forest Act. In 2021, it also notified 800 acres of uninhabited green cover in Aarey Colony — which is spread over an area of 3180-odd acres— as a reserve forest under the IFA. Zaman Ali, a city-based environmental lawyer who represented Vanashakti in petitions before the HC and the Supreme Court, said, “The declaration of the remaining area of Aarey under Section 4 of the Forest Act should have been done immediately after the first phase of declaring 800 acres as a reserve forest.” “Even if the earlier government didn’t include the 33-acre plot in the forest area, they could have cancelled the land use reservation for Metro-3 Car Depot on this land and reverted back to ‘no development zone’, or ‘green zone’, which was created especially for the rest of Aarey.
