@MumbaiPolice SHAME ON YOU for detaining Salim Saboowala just because our PM is arriving today in Mumbai. He is a senior citizen, you should be shameful for your act. Release Salim Saboowalla NOW, or we will take action against @MumbaiPolice for doing such horrific thing
That’s why you see lag time between initial infection and respiratory symptoms. More importantly, I explained that Covid is not just a lung disease, it is a massive systemic inflammatory response to the virus. Covid also upregulates a protein called bradykinin, causing clots.3
If projects keep on erasing green spaces like Aarey it opens flood gates for real estate in these ESZs & also the other sites then the entire city including the local trains & metros will become more congested & vulnerable to climate crises.

Constructing a metro carshed on 62 hectares of already fragmented Aarey will only lead to more floods,heatwaves,biodiversity loss and increased human wild conflicts.
#JusticeForAareyForest#MMRCLDontLie
In the time of climate emergency people should prioritise saving Aarey, many are rather hell bent on destruction of Aarey by letting a car shed brought there along with metro stations. Inspite of as many as 7 alternatives available for it #MMRCLDontLie#JusticeForAareyForest
Territorial creatures such as leopards, monkeys or snakes don't easily change their location & are likely to return to their original spots in the proposed yard, leading to increased human wildlife conflicts.

Aarey is a forest located right in the middle of the city. Most of the animals found here will end up losing their lives during the removal of trees and the construction activity for the car shed. This will increase man-animal conflict
#JusticeForAareyForest#MMRCLDontLie
Aarey Forest is also home to several amphibians like bullfrog, toad, tree frog, fungoid frog, & 51 reptile species, including Indian rock python, monitor lizard skink, etc.

My mom once asked my why am I protesting the car shed in aarey, the monitor lizards are something I’m scared of. And I said that’s why I’m fighting for aarey their habitat so that it stays in aarey and man and animal conflict doesn’t increase #JusticeForAareyForest#MMRCLDontLie
Forest dept sources said that camera-trapping activity was undertaken at carshed site, which revealed that this particular area is home to at least 5 leopards & also some jungle cats, mongooses,monitor lizards &other animals

Despite of visuals showing tree cut inside the carshed plot and other areas in Aarey, Authorities are blatantly lying that only trimming and clearing of shrubs is being done!
#JusticeForAareyForest#MMRCLDontLie
Citizens who questioned the illegal tree felling inside Aarey forest violating the hon'ble SC's stay order were detained,beaten up and also named in FIRs by the Mumbai police.

A metro car depot or other projects in Aarey at the cost of the flora, fauna, and the Adivasis of Aarey will only add more to the woes of Mumbai.

The different kinds of polluting activities that typically take place in a carshed will lead to degradation of the surrounding ecosystem in Aarey which is an ecologically sensitive zone of National Park.
