The much-anticipated vehicle-free initiative in the Kala Ghoda area has finally been launched. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is set to invest around Rs 7 crore to give a heritage makeover to five lanes in this historic district. In the initial phase, residents and visitors can enjoy unrestricted heritage walks on these vehicle-free roads during weekends.

According to the civic body, the work to make it a vehicle-free zone on weekends will begin in September.
