The felling of trees in the colony has been opposed by environmentalists and residents.

Aarey Forest Project: SC allows Mumbai Metro to cut trees; refuses to stay Maharashtra govt decision

The felling of trees in the colony has been opposed by environmentalists and residents.

In a big setback for environmentalists, the Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation to seek permission from tree-felling authority to cut 84 trees to build a metro shed in Aarey Forest.
The top Court was hearing the Aarey Forest case where it was considering primarily a Maharashtra govt plea seeking nod to cut trees for a shunting site.
The bench noted that the State Government considered several factors, such as the letter written by the Central Government and expert committee report while coming to the conclusion that the original decision to allow the metro car depot at Aarey should be restored.
No trees have been cut in the Aarey colony since 2019 after a PIL was filed in the apex court seeking a stay on the felling of trees.

It is yet to be ascertained whether it is the same feline which attacked and killed a one-and-a-half-year-old girl in Aarey Colony on 24 October 2022.

Mumbai: leopard caught after killing of 1.5-yr-old child in Aarey Colony

It is yet to be ascertained whether it is the same feline which attacked and killed a one-and-a-half-year-old girl in Aarey Colony on 24 October 2022.

A leopard was successfully trapped in Mumbai two days after a wild cat killed a toddler. A male leopard was trapped in a cage in Mumbai's Aarey Colony on 26 October 2022.
But it is yet to be ascertained whether it is the same feline which attacked and killed a one-and-a-half-year-old girl in a forested area in unit number 15 of Aarey Colony on 24 October 2022.
The victim had been following her mother who was on her way to a nearby temple. Following the incident, forest officials and wildlife volunteers put up cages at strategic locations in and around the site to capture the animal.
After a leopard walked into a cage, it was taken to a rescue centre at the Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP) for further examination and observation. Officials will keep monitoring the movement of other animals in the area throughout the week
Aarey Colony is a green belt of Mumbai's western suburb of Goregaon and is located close to the sprawling national park.

Night patrolling will be done and camera traps will be installed to identify and monitor the movements of the big cat, the official said.
Located near Sanjay Gandhi National Park, Aarey is considered the green lung of Mumbai and has witnessed several attacks by leopards in the past.

In their first cabinet meeting held hours after coming to power, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and his deputy Devendra Fadnavis took the first step towards overturning the previous Uddhav Thackeray-led MVA government's decision of relocating the proposed Mumbai Metro Line-3 car shed from Aarey Colony.
During the meeting held here on Thursday evening, soon after the swearing-in ceremony, Fadnavis directed the state Advocate General and the administration to submit a proposal on building the Metro-3 car shed in Aarey Colony instead of Kanjurmarg.
Incidentally, Shinde's predecessor Uddhav Thackeray, immediately after becoming the chief minister in November 2019, had announced a stay on the construction of the proposed Metro-3 car shed in Aarey Colony.
The decision to set up the car shed in the wooded Aarey area had faced opposition from environmental groups as it entailed cutting down hundreds of trees. The Thackeray government had later shifted the site to Kanjurmarg, but it is embroiled in a legal dispute.
Shinde was on Thursday sworn in as the 20th chief minister of Maharashtra, while Fadnavis took oath as the deputy chief minister, just 24 hours after the collapse of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government led by Thackeray.
During the cabinet meeting, Fadnavis also directed the state administration to revive the Jalyukt Shivar Scheme, which was discontinued by the Thackeray government on charges of corruption. This water conservation scheme was Fadnavis government's flagship programme.
Fadnavis asked the advocate general to represent the government's side of building the car shed in Aarey Colony.
Officials in the urban development department said the matter is currently in the court and the next hearing will be held 15 days later.
The advocate general was asked how can the project be shifted to Aarey Colony as the previous MVA government had proposed to shift the car shed to Kanjurmarg and designated Aarey Colony as a reserve forest, they said.
Fadnavis told the officials that the 33-km-long Colaba-Bandra-Seepz underground Metro project is getting delayed due to the court case.
Meanwhile, the NCP objected to the new government's proposal to shift the Metro car shed to Aarey Colony.
In a tweet, NCP spokesperson Clyde Crasto said, "With so many important issues that need to be looked into in Maharashtra, what does the new Dy. CM Devendra Fadnavis do? He proposes to move Metro car shed back to Aarey. Re-creating a problem solved by MVA Govt. Green lung of Mumbai in danger once again. What will he gain?"

She managed to fend the big cat off with her walking stick. Officials said that Nirmaladevi was safe and undergoing treatment.
This was the third incident of leopard attack in a week in the area which borders on the Sanjay Gandhi National Park.&nbsp;
