Is Aarey forest a part of Sanjay Gandhi National Park?

It is important for citizens, environmentalists, and the public at a large to understand how Aarey that was categorised as an unclassed forest was removed from the notified area of SGNP.

Petitioner NGO Vanashakti has sought protection for Aarey Colony, claiming the 2,076.073-hectare stretch is an integral part of SGNP. Metro-3 car shed has been proposed on 33 hectares of Aarey.
