Plan to uproot 115 trees has triggered the latest row
MUMBAI: Residents of Colaba are demanding re-examination of the
controversial Rs7 crore plan to beautify the Gateway of India.
The two-phase layout for the Grade I heritage precinct, drawn up by the
Indian National Trust for Arts and Cultural Heritage (INTACH), is facing
objections from leading conservationists and urban planners over the
numerous changes made to it.
Following the outrage over the plan to uproot 115 trees around the
plaza, the question being asked is who allowed such a drastic step to be
incorporated.
