When contacted a senior police official from Dindoshi police station, he said that the prohibitory orders had been removed. The 29 dettainees who were granted bail late on Sunday evening, on Monday had questioned the government over the highhandedness by the police.
Meanwhile, the milk producers who were not allowed to enter Aarey Milk Colony were also allowed to enter the area on Tuesday. For the past two days, the cattle owners and truck drivers were put to test when the cops had allegedly harassed them over entering the colony.
A special bench of the Supreme Court on Monday asked the Maharashtra government to ensure that no trees are further axed at Mumbai's Aarey Colony.
A Bench of Justices Arun Mishra and Ashok Bhushan directed the government to maintain the status quo and said it would further hear all the petitions in the matter on October 21.
The court passed the directive after hearing a suo moto PIL based on a letter written by a group of law students to the court against the felling of trees.
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta assured the bench that no trees will be further cut in the Aarey Colony. He told the court that the people who were arrested for protesting against Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (MMRCL) action were released. The court also asked Mehta to include the Ministry of Forest and Environment as a party in the matter.
