💨 Abstract

Hundreds of activists and citizens in Thane, Maharashtra, protested against unchecked deforestation by the local civic body, accusing them of neglecting the city's green cover and permitting deforestation in the name of development. They demanded transparency in the Tree Authority Committee, seeking disclosure of members, experts, and ward-wise officers, and publication of all permissions for tree trimming, cutting, and transplantation.
