One would think a near idyllic place like Powai would have a spectacular garden - lush green and sparkling clean. In fact, Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Udyan, the biggest in the suburbs and having dense green cover as well as different botanical plants and trees, is the perfect example of how municipal corporation's utter neglect is killing its beauty.

Nature, money down the drain
Spread across 25 acres (almost equal to Oval Maidan), Ambedkar Udyan is the only garden in the city to have a huge lake adjacent to it, with citizens flocking to the garden during monsoon to see the waterfall created there by an overflowing Powai Lake.
