Supreme Court on Thursday asked the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to identify an alternate 24 acres of land in Mumbai or nearby areas for compensatory afforestation, following the felling of 1,039 trees for the second phase of the Goregaon-Mulund Link Road (GMLR) project, reported the PTI. 

On November 17, 2025, the apex court had instructed the BMC’s Tree Authority to allow the urgent felling of the trees while directing the civic body to “scrupulously” carry out compensatory afforestation within eight weeks.
