MUMBAI - Indian police detained 40 protesters demanding that the Mumbai Metro Rail Corp Ltd not cut some 2,700 trees to build a train parking shed for an upcoming subway line, a spokesman for the Mumbai police said on Saturday.
“They have been charged with obstructing a government servant from doing his duty and unlawful assembly. Around 200 policemen have been deployed at the location,” Pranaya Ashok, a spokesman for the Mumbai police, told Reuters. “If you lose a battle in court, better to accept it honourably than to take it to street,” Bhide said in a tweet.
