384 trees to be cut to rebuild Mumbai's Malabar Hill reservoir

A tree survey conducted by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has revealed that 384 trees will have to be removed to pave way for the construction of a tank behind Hanging Garden. The tank is the first phase of BMC's plan to reconstruct the 140-year-old reservoir at Malabar Hill. Out of the 384 earmarked trees, 188 trees will be transplanted.
