NAVI MUMBAI: As many as 30 Ashoka trees on the road divider at Vashi, opposite Assam Bhavan, have been cut by civic staffers of NMMC's Vashi ward office, in order to give better display for advertisements on the same divider.
Green activists have cried foul and pointed at an unholy nexus between civic officials and private advertisers, leading to such illegal tree cuttings.
