Matheran has stoutly protected its status as the only truly car-free hill station in India, where ambulances and police vehicles are the only motorised vehicles permitted. Till Nita Ambani's driver decided to drive his madam right up...but how many readers got to know of this breach of environmental law? Take a look at some of the headlines in Mumbai editions today. The Times of India: Industrialist's car drives into Matheran or The Indian Express: Car enters Matheran green zone, driver booked. The Hindustan Times was either sleeping on the job or played safe and didn't have a report. But even with this pusillanimity, thank heavens for media pluralism for the DNA said it loud and clear: Nita Ambani's driver breaches green barrier!
