Garden AuditMumbaikars, our Garden Audit is over, and we want to thank you for your feedback. Now, we bring a request from BMC to you: lend a hand in keeping the city's gardens and open spaces clean - don't litter, don't leave the toilets dirty after use, don't vandalise property or damage children's play equipment, etc.

In the middle of bad roads, crowded commutes and erratic weather that Mumbaikars have to endure, the tiny open space in the form of gardens, which they can claim their own, is also under threat mid-day's campaign highlighting civic body's disregard towards these spaces elicited a ton of responses from readers. Most pointed to the gardens in their areas that were inaccessible, either because they were in a state of disrepair or because their entry gates were blocked.
