It was a day when Mumbaikars experienced pain and anguish as hundreds of trees in the Aarey forest in the city were cut down by authorities in order to make a carshed for the upcoming Metro.
As expected, netizens poured their emotional reactions at the visuals of cutting down of these many trees. This also included a section of the Hindi film industry including the likes of Karan Johar, Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan and Farhan Akhtar.
Describing the incident as a ‘massacre,’ Johar said, “Massacre is what this is! We are our own worst enemy! Infrastructure can never precede nature! We need to STOP!”
