Unless you've had your head in the clouds, you'd know that the issue of a Metro car shed being built at Aarey Colony has divided Mumbai. On one hand, we have the authorities who didn't bat an eyelid while resuming work on the project as soon as they got an all-clear from the National Green Tribunal. And on the other, there are activists and concerned citizens of the view that nearly 2,700 chopped trees is a heavy price to pay for more convenient transport.

Now, an entertainment firm called 4/4 Experiences has joined the latter group. They have launched a new property called Awaaz Do, where the emphasis will be on using cultural acts to raise awareness about contentious issues. The inaugural edition focuses on the need to stop the felling of trees at Aarey, which is also home to tribals from the Warli community, one of the region's oldest inhabitants.
