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.
