The Mumbadevi Mandir trustees, landmark Zaveri Bazaar temple, have recently written a letter to Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, asking him to look at a BMC plot adjacent to the temple.

The management, in its letter, part of a report in this paper stated that the vacant plot could be handed over to the temple. The trustees claimed this would help decongest the busy space, and bring order to the often chaotic queues outside the landmark. It would also be helpful in offering basic facilities to devotees like a waiting area, drinking water facilities, toilets and proper queues. Shopkeepers around the temple can also be brought inside this space.
