Mumbai: BMC razes Worli promenade for cityâs coastal road project
Local residents and environmentalists express their displeasure against the move
For the next one year, Mumbaikars will miss hanging around, at their favourite promenade at the Worli Sea Face as the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has closed the existing promenade and have constructed a temporary concrete path alongside it.
In order to carry out construction works for the ambitious Coastal Road Project, the BMC had taken over the 85-year-old promenade back in 2019, with a promise to replace it with a swankier and larger sea side walkway.
BMC has now demolished almost half of the walkway facing the seaside and has erected barriers alongside it. Senior officials involved with the coastal road project have said that the entire promenade will be removed and new promenade will be created in the gap between the existing promenade and sea.
