Around a month ago, the development authority had floated a bid to appoint a consultant for the Giant Observation Wheel project to be taken forward at the Bandra Reclamation.
The reasons for opposition include traffic jams, visitors to the Mumbai Eye getting to see slums around, a huge number of vehicles anticipating to visit the ferris wheel, environmental issues, among others.
Bandra residents are up in arms over ready mix concrete (RMC) plants in a purely residential area. The Bandra Reclamation Area Volunteers' Organisation (BRAVO) have shot off a strongly-worded letter to the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) objecting to these plants which have been erected in the yard bang opposite the MSRDC's office.
