Have mercy on nature

Around 1,800 trees felled, says AAP's Preeti Sharma Menon, hits out at Shiv Sena for 'just tweeting' "Around 1,800 of the over 2,600 trees to be felled have been cut since last night. The remaining are expected to be cut today," AAP's Preeti Sharma Menon told Firstpost. Claiming that the police cordoned off the area since, she claimed that people are being detained since last night itself. "Those detained till 3 am have been released. 20-30 people arrested after 3 am have been taken to Aarey, Dahisar police stations. Cognisable offences have been filed against them," she said. "What’s worse is that seven to eight girls were detained and kept at police stations overnight without any charges. The charges against them were framed only in the morning," she alleged. Criticising the Shiv Sena for "just tweeting" about the issue, the AAP leader also hit out at Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and said that no other leader from any political party joined the protests till 10 am on Saturday.
