There's more good news for Patwardhan garden in Bandra West. After a report in mid-day highlighted its pitiable state, the BMC had promised to give it a whole new look, and it appears to be doing the needful, a little at a time. Now, the civic garden department is ensuring that waste is not dumped inside the park, while ward officials are carrying out the work of shifting the water pipeline on a war footing.

Citizens had been complaining about waterlogging and lack of cleanliness at the garden for a long time, finally bringing their grievances to mid-day's notice. When our correspondent paid a visit, garbage was found dumped inside the garden, which, citizens said, wasn't being cleared on a regular basis.
