The BMC's plan to reclaim land for Mumbai's 'Central Park'

For once, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation is really attempting to make the best out of waste. The civic body has charted an ambitious plan to build Mumbai's own 300-acre 'Central Park' by reclaiming land in the Arabian Sea between Nariman Point and Cuffe Parade, with muck excavated from the Colaba-Bandra-SEEPZ Metro III project. It has been earmarked in the revised draft Development Plan (DP) 2034 and civic chief Ajoy Mehta wants to fast track the project.
