It is dial-H-for-heritage-and-happy-times for history buffs in Mumbai. The city's cluster of Victorian and Art Deco buildings in the Fort precinct and Marine Drive was recently declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, bringing joy and a dash of pride for the cultural cognoscenti and citizens who are aware of the importance of preserving historical markers that lend Mumbai so much character, and are actually living, breathing, working monuments of its past.
Now, a report in this paper cites that the Central Railway had floated tenders worth R25 crore in April 2018, to bring the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) back in shape with a comprehensive conservation plan.
