The Bombay High Court on Wednesday allowed the felling of trees at Tata Gardens, Breach Candy, for the construction of an eight-lane and 22-km-long coastal road project by vacating an interim stay on it which had restrained the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) from cutting the trees. A Division Bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and G.S. Kulkarni was hearing a public interest litigation (PIL) petition filed by NGO Society for Improvement, Greenery and Nature, through advocates Ankit Kulkarni and Ronita Bhattacharya.
The Union and State governments provided support in several ways to the needy people, but private institutions should also extend help, especially to those requiring medical assistance, said C.P. Rajkumar, Managing Director, Nalam Multispeciality Hospital, here on Saturday. Speaking at a function to honour Inspector General of Police V. Balakrishnan and neurologist S. Meenakshisundaram with C. Palaniappan Memorial Award for their contribution to society and Nalam Kappom medical adoption of Type-1 diabetic children, he said the governments implemented numerous welfare programmes, but the timely help by a private hospital or a doctor in the neighbourhood to the people in need would go a long way in safeguarding their lives.
