Lush, green parks could soon replace the dusty parking lots under many of Mumbai's flyovers. In a city starved for open spaces, the BMC plans to open up 12 acres of green pockets by developing gardens under bridges. Following the success of the garden under Matunga's Tulpule flyover, the civic body has identified 29 more locations for the initiative.

This paper had earlier reported on how happy Matunga residents were to get the Nanalal D Mehta garden under Tulpule flyover. The underbelly of the bridge used to be an eyesore earlier, but now features a 600-metre garden and jogging track.
