The BMC will spend over Rs 74.25 crore to install proper lighting on skywalks as part of the city beautification project. Former group leaders, however, expressed their concerns about the cost and demanded that the civic body declare which works would be done by spending crores of rupees.

Civic Administrator Iqbal Singh Chahal passed the proposal for the beautification of 13 skywalks in the city at a cost of Rs 74.25 crore. Under this project, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation will install LED, flood lights and tube lights on skywalks.
