The culture vultures are swooping down on Worli, with a slow transformation of public spaces. Recently, the INS Trata naval hub, at the mouth of the Bandra Worli Sea Link (BWSL), witnessed an inauguration ceremony. A model of the warship, INS Mumbai, was unveiled at JK Kapur Chowk, on a traffic island. The ship signified the Navy's strict maritime connect to the city.
