Former BJP corporator of Colaba, advocate Makarand Narwekar, claimed that BMC Commissioner Bhushan Gagrani has put a stay on the proposed Horse Carousel project at Cooperage Garden in Colaba. The estimated cost of the project is Rs 1.52 crore for a 32-seater horse carousel.

Rahul Narwekar, Speaker of the state Legislative Assembly and MLA of Colaba had tabled a proposal to start a horse carousel in Cooperage Garden. This garden was previously known for horse riding, which the BMC shut down a few years ago following the death of a visitor. The BMC’s Mechanical and Engineering Department prepared an estimate of Rs 1.52 crore for the project in February 2024.
