Mumbai, July 18 The tree census 2008 figures may show that the green cover in the city has doubled over the decade, but several tree authority members have contended that 19 lakh trees are inadequate for a city with a population of one crore. A city bursting with development, where highways, malls and skyscrapers are mushrooming everywhere, 19,17,844 trees are still short, they assert.
