New Delhi: On Thursday, Actor Raveena Tandon took to Twitter to highlight how each one of us – From government officers to citizens are responsible in destroying the planet. Among the series of tweets that she posted, the first one showed how Mumbai is following Delhi’s footsteps in air pollution. She tweeted, “Smog in Mumbai! We are going the Delhi way soon… well done Maharashtra government! Maharashtra has lost maximum forest cover in past 3 years! And now Aarey Forest Soon! Welcome to pollution Hell!,” along with a picture of the road. The tweet comes as a response to deforest Aarey Colony, which is considered as Mumbai’s green lung. Currently, the government is planning to cut 500 trees there in order to build a car shed.

“Somewhere we have to make people realise that there are alternatives available to manage the waste in a better way and opt safe sanitation practices.”
