In this episode of Cyrus Says, environmental activist Zoru Bhathena joins Cyrus for a candid and insightful chat on fighting for Mumbai’s green cover. Zoru shares the story behind his first PIL – sparked by a shocking sight of dead trees in the Khar-Bandra area, and how that launched him into a life of legal activism. He also dives deep into the Aarey Metro Depot case, unraveling the legal battles, civic pushbacks, and his unwavering fight to preserve one of Mumbai’s last green lungs. Expect stories of legal chaos, civic apathy, and a lot of leafy passion – with a dash of Cyrus’ usual madness.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
