Mumbai: Concern raised over illegal hutments in sea at Cuffe Parade
A video depicting the same was also shared with the authorities concerned to draw their attention
Residents of Cuffe Parade have raised an alarm against the rampant construction of illegal hutments inside the sea starting from the Macchimar Nagar area in Cuffe Parade up to Badhwar Park. A video depicting the same was also shared with the authorities concerned to draw their attention on the illegal activities that have amplified significantly during the lockdown period.
Aditi Jain, president of Cuffe Parade Residents Association, said, We have failed to get any relief from government authorities despite complaining several times. Constructions are rampant and the government officials are turning a blind eye to these illegal activities. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has built a bridge for the storm water drain which is serving as a gateway for these illegal occupants to carry out this construction

Mumbai: When the City Improvement Trust Board reclaimed about 75,000 square metres of land at the southern tip of Bombay and named it Cuffe Parade after their T.W.Cuffe, they envisioned a long row of stately mansions on the southernmost tip of Bombay, with a promenade fronting the gentle waters of the Arabian Sea. Cuffe Parade led to the Navy Nagar, which in those days was a restricted area. The peaceful area even had a sanatorium where TB patients could recover while âtaking in the breezeâ.

Planning to get hitched is no easy feat, but for brand strategist Divya Khandelwal and software engineer Aman Kapurâs larger-than-life nuptials with 1500 guests, wedding planning was bound to go to the next level. Part of the mayhem of a big fat Indian wedding is to have certain grounds to agree on. For the Jaipur-based couple, this was the overall ethos of the celebrationâwhich was to make the event about their heritage and roots, and the manifestation of memories in a truly sustainable fashion. Devika Narain, the luxury wedding designer behind the affair, says, âOne of the trademarks of the modern Indian wedding is that theyâre becoming very personalâa reflection of who they are. Itâs almost as though each wedding has a personality of its own. Normally people walk in and say âThis is what weâd like our wedding to be. They walked in and said, âThis is what we do. Now what can you do with this?ââ
