Launched with great fanfare in November 2017, Circle Garden on Linking Road in Santacruz was supposed to become one of the major landmarks in the western suburbs. However, mid-day has reported that what was supposed to be a landscaped, eye-pleasing garden-cum-traffic island has become an illegal kabootar khaana.

The Circle Garden, under the Daulat Nagar project, was inaugurated in the presence of politicians and cine stars. It aimed to give citizens a better, cleaner and beautiful Santacruz.
