The Mumbai Heritage Conservation Committee (MHCC) has given a no-objection certificate for the conservation of Bhikha Behram Well and its premises on Veer Nariman Road in Churchgate. The 300-year-old heritage site`s trustees have decided to start work in the next two to three days.
In the second week of January 2023, the trustees commenced repairing the surroundings of the grade 2A structure, which was built in 1725. According to the committee`s guidelines, a NOC is required before carrying out repairs at a heritage site. The BMC administration then requested the trustees to stop the repair work. On January 11, the MHCC in a meeting ordered that a proposal for the restoration of the well and surrounding area be submitted.
