Soon, the gates of Powai's Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Garden will stay open longer
You might finally be able to take a walk in your local park after dinner, with the BMC now mulling over suggestions to keep the city's gardens open till 11 pm. Just days after mid-day held its Round Table conference with officials and experts to discuss longer opening hours for parks, the civic body is now finalising a policy for the same. A decision is anticipated by the end of the month.
Following this paper's Garden Audit series and the Round Table discussion held last week, municipal commissioner Ajoy Mehta has asked civic officials to frame guidelines for the best possible way to keep gardens open till night.
