<p>The civic body had stopped the use of the Lok Shahir Anna Bhau Sathe open-air theatre 30 years back as animals and birds in the zoo would be disturbed by the performances; it will now pull it down to build an auditorium</p>

Nearly 30 years after preventing it from being used the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has decided to pull down the Lok Shahir Anna Bhau Sathe open air theatre in Jijamata Udyan and build an auditorium in its place.

Like in the open-air theatre, only folk art shows will be held in the new auditorium. Pic/Datta Kumbhar
