The Parsi community will keep a lookout for possible damage that might happen to their Atash Behrams due to the work on the Metro III, while the Jewish community looks forward to the re-opening of a synagogue.
The upcoming year will have good, as well as bad news, for the various religious communities in Mumbai. The Parsi community has suffered a major setback, after failing to get relief from either the Bombay High Court or the Supreme Court, in their fight to save the Atash Behrams. The beginning of this year will be tense for them, as members of the community will keep a lookout for possible damage that may occur on Anjuman or Wadiaji Atash Behrams. They will also have to keep a close eye on the water levels in the wells, since without water, they will not be able to perform any of their rituals as per their customs.
