  Trying to do my bit. Went live on my insta sometime back to show you all how so many people have come together to stand up against this. 2700+ trees are slated to be chopped down for the Metro. Unacceptable. Shocking. As if we don’t have enough environmental issues already. As if Mumbai doesn’t have enough pollution already. And permission is granted to chop off the lungs of the city. This HAS TO STOP. #SAVEAAREY #TRYYOURBITFORTHEENVIRONMENT @aareyforest ❤️

"Trying to do my bit. Went live on my insta sometime back to show you all how so many people have come together to stand up against this," she wrote.
She was wearing a white t-shirt with the message 'Save Aarey'.

"We don't want the tress to be cut down. We are all standing here for this and we really hope that our voice may be heard and it can be stopped," Shraddha said at the protest.
"If we try, we can find an alternative to this problem. There is no need to cut down so many trees," she added.
