A revamped green space welcomed Colaba-Cuffe Parade locals this month. As the city said ‘open sesame’, with COVID cases on a gradual decline, children seemed to have found their wings. After being cooped up at home, it was a joy for them to be up and about.

The dynamic Bella Shah, part of several projects in the vicinity said, “Several locals and corporators Makarand Narwekar and Harshita Narwekar decided that the BMC garden strip near the Bhadhwar Park junction, opposite Deepak Jog Chowk, needed a facelift.”
 
The project started in November 2021, and a spruced up strip opened to kids this month. The space is largely frequented by slum children, as there is a slum 
colony adjacent.
