Many Bollywood stars including Bollywood actress Shraddha Kapoor, Esha Gupta, Randeep Hooda, Diya mirza, Raveena Tandon have gone against a government decision.

Bollywood actress Shraddha Kapoor on Sunday joined the protest against the cutting of over 2700 trees in Aare Forest for the construction of the metro yard. They described the decision of the tree authority of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation as “absurd”.

Many others also asked the government on Twitter to reconsider its decision and reverse it. The BMC’s tree authority on Thursday approved cutting more than 2,700 trees to construct a metro yard in Aarey Colony adjoining suburban Goregaon. Aare Forest is considered to be the main green area of the city. As part of the demonstration, people made a human series in Aare Forest on Sunday morning.

Shraddha Kapoor said- I am shocked
Shraddha said that she participated in the protest to register a complaint about the “perplexing” permission to cut trees and she hopes that this decision will be reversed.

The actress went live on her Instagram account and said, “We have all united to support Mother Nature here.” We already have pollution problems, so how can we be allowed to cut trees. ”

Kapil Sharma expects this from the government
Comedian Kapil Sharma said that the government is very sensible and I hope that it will take the appropriate decision. Singer Shan said that there has been a lot of debate on this but so far no one has suggested an alternative location for the metro yard.

They said, “We are not telling any solution. Certainly we would not like to let the trees be cut down, this should not happen. We should avoid it.
