Yesterday, this paper ran a report on how the S K Patil Garden on Charni Road in south Mumbai has been encroached on by the BMC. This is ironical, as this little enclave of green on bustling Charni Road, belonged to the BMC in the first place.

This paper has been running a series on the garden, which now seems to be lost to the residents at least in part. It is evident, our reports stated, that when it is returned to the residents it will not have the same dimension that it had when the Water Supply Department closed it down for work back in 2007.
