If you work or live in any of the 13 wards that the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has marked to develop parks in, you will be pleased to know that within the next year the sites set aside for the purpose will be returned to the public in a cleaner and greener state. One of BMC’s top goals this fiscal will be to develop 13 gardens in the city. With open spaces scarcely available for the public, the civic body has decided to upgrade and develop the gardens.

Park avenues: The civic body has set aside Rs 37.70 crore for developing and beautifying the open spaces. Last fiscal, the BMC spent Rs 60.54 crore on sprucing up 29 gardens in the city. File pic
