Meanwhile, the 29 activists, who were arrested on Saturday after a huge ruckus by environmentalists protesting tree felling, were released from Thane jail after bail was granted to them on Sunday.
Protests were held late Friday night and continued during the wee hours of Saturday as authorities began cutting down trees at Aarey Colony to build an upcoming metro car shed.
Thackeray took to Twitter and termed the felling down of trees as "shameful and disgusting" act which was carried out "in cover of night, with slyness.”
Leaders including Jignesh Mevani, Aaditya Thackeray have shown their protest against the cutting of trees in Aarey Colony and have appealed to the people of Mumbai to resist the 'illegal' action.
