Mumbai’s Aarey Colony needs to be protected to preserve wildlife & biodiversity, says Aaditya Thackeray

Former Maharashtra minister Aaditya Thackeray on Sunday participated in a protest against the State government’s decision to construct a Metro car shed in Mumbai’s Aarey Colony, and said the 808-acre area there was reserved as a forest to preserve the wildlife and biodiversity in the city.

“I appeal to the new State government (led by CM Eknath Shinde) not to take out the anger against us on Mumbai,” Thackeray told reporters.

Thackeray said the previous Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government, wherein he had served as the tourism and environment minister, was “pro-Mumbai, pro-Maharashtra and a votary of sustainable development”.
