Malabar Hill reservoir: Change of initial plans leading to more trees being cut, say citizens

“The original proposal was for a narrow new tank adjoining the existing reservoir. There was no proposal to construct a new road and go into Shantivan. This new narrow tank also proposed the removal of several massive trees. But, about a dozen. Not in hundreds,” Bhathena said, adding that in June 2023, the Water Supply Projects (WSP) department wrote to the gardens department and informed them that more trees would be axed, owing to a change of plans (HT PHOTO)
