Residents of SV Road and Tata Blocks and members of Varde Marg Residents Association are organising a protest rally on Saturday, May 27, over their fear of losing the only green space in the vicinity to the Metro 2B corridor. The residents are disappointed by MMRDA’s decision not to relocate the station, citing difficulties and costs associated with such a move.
 
Their concern arises from the fact that the Sadhu Vaswani Garden, located on Bandra’s SV Road, is set to shrink by approximately 290 sq metres. This reduction is necessary to accommodate the entry and exit points of the Metro 2B corridor’s National College station, as clarified by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) in their recent response to mid-day.

In response to this development, the residents have organised a protest rally at Sadhu Vaswani Garden on Saturday at 6 pm. They argue that the takeover of the garden by MMRDA will result in the removal of numerous trees, some of which are over a century old and belong to rare species.
