After a mid-day article reported that the BMC might not be able to construct 14 wildlife underpasses on the main Aarey Milk Colony road, potentially endangering animals like leopards, environmentalist Stalin D wrote a letter to the chief minister and other authorities. He urged them to follow the recommendations of experts and the forest department regarding the number of wildlife passages. Stalin D warned that if these guidelines were not adhered to, he would pursue legal action.

In his letter to the chief minister of Maharashtra, the principal secretary of the Environment Department, the principal secretary of the Urban Development Department, the Collector of Mumbai Suburban, the chief conservator of forest Thane, the municipal commissioner and assistant municipal commissioner of Mumbai city, Stalin D requested an increase in wildlife underpasses and the finalisation of a conservation plan for the forest.
