Aarey forest in Mumbai has been a burning topic for over a few months now since the news of tree felling order reached the ears of nature-conserving Mumbaikars.
Just as today, people in Maharashtra stepped out and voted in the Assembly polls, choosing leaders who care for the environment remained a top priority for millennials who protested day and night to save trees from being cut.
Many took to microblogging platform Twitter and shared selfies with an inked finger. But what set them apart was a call to think and then vote for candidates who care for the nature and well-being of environment.
A user wrote:
“Voted to get a leader who is from a party that walks the talk given as commitment to its voters in Delhi.. Voted to prevent Aarey like disaster Voted to get the right to good life, for a better future for all”
