In a scathing attack, the Aam Aadmi Party on Friday said they strongly condemned the Maharashtra government’s inaction and indifference, towards the string of successive fires at the Aarey forests. The fires seem conspicuous and raise several unanswered questions, such that sabotage, through arson cannot be ruled out.

Questioning the Maharashtra Tourism and Environment Minister Aaditya Thackeray,  AAP asked, “What he is doing? This is a gross dereliction of duty. What happened to all the tall claims to save Aarey? Is this a back door attempt to cheat Mumbaikars, and grab Aarey for the builders?”

Preeti Sharma Menon, AAP Mumbai leader said, “We demand a report from the Fire Department as to the number of fires in the last two months, how far the fires were from each other, whether the land on which the fires took place is part of any proposals submitted by builders, and why the Fire Department is not investigating any foul play.”

“This is a pattern. We first saw this in the case of Mumbai’s mangroves, where the mangroves were burnt down, the land was reclaimed, and then occupied. Post this, an attempt was made to pass off this occupied land as a non-forested area. Now this is happening with Aarey”, claimed AAP.

The Aam Aadmi Party has always been at the forefront of the fight to save Aarey. We will not tolerate the indifference of the Maharashtra government, as well as the BMC, which has been turning a blind eye to these fires. As per reports on the ground from locals, vested interests are involved in these fires – with a clear attempt of destroying the forest and encroaching the land, added Menon. 

This comes following after several fire incidents were reported in Aarey earlier in this month. On March 6, there was a big fire in Aarey near Modern Bakery, which was put out by Mumbai Fire Brigade. Then in the same week, at least three major fires were reported from the area.

List of total fires which have been compiled by activists and residents on the ground
