The Mumbai metro is a rapid transit system being developed by both the PPP (Public-Private Partnership) and EPC models.

Why can't the BJP find anyone to file a PIL in support of the current location citing wastage of tax money due to indecisiveness of the government? When it was the other way round there were so many lined up to file PILs. It would end up being positive PR for Fadnavis, since a lot of dumb unaware people in Mumbai still believe that Fadnavis "destroyed" Aarey.

I sometimes wish I could do something myself, but I don't have the time or the means to pursue something like this in the physical world, and on social media I don't even have a twitter account, let alone followers [emoji28]

Firstly, can you explain the first paragraph.
How will having trees prevent a city becoming a "ghost town" in a pandemic or other situation?
Click to expand...
Are you serious? Trees reduce surface temperature, ensure groundwater recharge, provide OXYGEN. Mangrove trees keep storm surges out during storms. Look at areas like Kurla that flood because of the reclamation of wetlands there and destruction of mangroves. Look at world cities. As we globalise and standards of living increase, city centres are getting less desirable to live in and those who can afford to are fleeing to suburbs. If Mumbai loses its last remaining green cover, no one will want to rebuild it or stay here if a big disaster strikes.

Really, it is stupid comments like this that make people think all those who support the metro are anti-environment. The metro is a pro-environment project, it takes cars off roads and can use sustainable and renewable energy.

Absolutely agree. Many of our fellow users on SSC seem to have an unwaveringly militant approach against environmentalism and have even suggested treason charges. They also seem to have an incredibly shallow view of what development is, resting on the whole development over all else, no matter the expense rhetoric, without realizing that no amount of development will save us from alternating extremes of water scarcity and flooding, and decimated ecosystems where we can no longer grow even food. People are also under the pretense that this is a tale of a distant future, even though we've been facing increasingly frequent water crises and rising amounts of barren, exhausted land.

Yes I agree with most of your points, no one here is against trees or environment. It’s that we know and understand the phrase ‘choosing the lesser evil.’ The biggest problem with people opposing Aarey Carshed is that if you show them Mumbai’s satellite map and ask them “where do you think the car shed is” and they will point somewhere in Sanjay Gandhi National Park near the lakes. Yes it has happened with me, twice. All these people who are so triggered by the shed don’t even know where that shed is. They think it is in core of the SGNP when it is right next to JVLR on southern most edge of green belt with ‘least’ affecting trees per acre.

People should understand there will be some sacrifices made to make our lives better and this one of those. These people should rather be behind MMRDA to see if they’re doing the replanting of new trees in place of 3000 lost in a good way or is it just on paper. This is how we contribute to society as well as nature. Aarey carshed issue just highlights one thing, lack of knowledge and will of the activists.

^^The biggest hypocrisy of these so called activists is selective activism.They have problem only with public infra projects.no agitations,protest,PILs when housing/commercial are constructed close to SGNP boundary or slums which countinue to mushroom and not a word against them which are much more harmful to environment than a infra project

Well noted and agree to all the points you have said.
But the statement that how the trees helps pandemic or other situation don't quite follow. You just went with the flow on this one looks like.
See no one here wants earth destroyed. OK, not me not any one.
But common people are dying in open door over crowded trains just so they can travel to make a living. They deserve a better transport system.
Just stalling such a game changing of a project based on a patch of wooded land, which can be compensated twice over by planting same trees else where there is land does not make sense.

Trust me, the biggest environmental disaster are us, you me and all this excess humans.
We are sitting in our own cozy rooms, typing away using electricity being produced somewhere burning decomposed juice of dead dinosaurs and Jurassic age forest..
Probably if our parents would have been green and environmentally conscious, left all to nature, not given us vaccnications, we probably would not have been here.

Chew on that!!!

Like any protest, there is a section of politically biased and ignorant protesters, but there is also a huge number of people who understand very well where the shed is. But forget the protesters, we cannot ignore the fact that it is inside Aarey boundaries and Aarey is a very very lush green zone, home to millions of years old dense tropical forests.

What politically unbiased protesters are really against is a precedent that our last remaining green zones can be taken over for infrastructural projects even today in 2020, just like in the 80s and 90s when we were less aware of our impact on the environment. And of course, it is easier for individuals to protest against government projects rather than builders like Lo**a or Ra***a who are known to have big political and mafia links and can silence/murder dissent easily.

Fadnavis, despite his great work in this space, did not help the metro projects image with his arrogance and unpopular comment that Aarey is not a forest due to some technicality. This further enraged and inspired more protesters to hit the streets.

Despite all this, I completely agree with you that the metro has massive environmental benefits, and out of desperation we might just need to sacrifice such a crucial green zone because there is simply no space left anywhere else. We have to go ahead with it but with a strong message that this was a one time exception because the metro is a green project.

But UT and co are taking everyone, including the protesters for a ride by dancing around the problem. Now, it seems they are proposing a zoo inside Aarey, which is absolutely not required. They are completely clueless as to what to do with the metro shed.

As for us, as public transport enthusiasts, we must engage with apolitical environmentalists and not attack them with banal comments like 'environmental', like many have been doing on this forum due to their obvious political leanings. We are all on the same side here. We all want to make Mumbai a world class city.

Very well written. Unfortunately, some of these users are so deep into their blind political leanings that they wouldn't even know that an accessible-to-all, state-sponsored/supported public transport project such as the Mumbai Metro is a hardcore example of a left wing, socialist project. I've been tracking this forum for years, sadly the growing trend of political polarisation has affected the quality of rational expression here in recent times.
