The Pherozeshah Mehta Gardens reservoir, popularly known as the Hanging Gardens, can be restored without disturbing the iconic century-old garden, Guardian Minister (City) Deepak Kesarkar said on Wednesday, entering into the controversy surrounding the park at Malabar Hill in south Mumbai.

“We are not in favour of disturbing Malabar Hill. I have discussed the issue with Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. We will also hold discussions with BMC officials for suggestions on how to restore the reservoir without disturbing the Hanging Gardens,” Kesarkar said, adding that alternatively, the option of an overhead reservoir will be explored.
