Question
Explain the reasons behind deforestation in your area. What measures will you suggest to minimize deforestation?
Solution
I am a resident of Goregaon, very close to the Aarey Colony which was formerly called the Aarey Milk Colony due to the presence of the Aarey Dairy that provided milk to the City of Mumbai. It was once known as the Lungs of Mumbai. It also housed a variety of flora and fauna. But soon deforestation began in phases. First came residential areas, followed by the Film City and now it is the metro car shed. In spite of protests from several citizen's groups, NGOs, and celebrities, more than 2000 trees were felled overnight, forcing the Supreme Court to intervene. I would suggest the government to shift the metro car shed to some other location and immediately start planting saplings to replace the destroyed trees.
