As the matter of constructing a parking lot under Patwardhan Park in Khar West is sub judice, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has extended the deadline to bid for tenders to construct the facility for the eleventh time.
It’s been almost a year since the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) floated the tender on March 6, 2023. With an estimated cost of Rs 75 crore, it concerns the construction of a three-level underground facility beneath a part of the garden. Meanwhile, a petition has been filed against digging up the open space to develop infrastructure.
