Adding the happy into new year, quite literally, the proposal to convert the Siri Road walkway in Malabar Hill, into a motorable road was shot down yesterday in the BMC. It is a small but significant victory for activists who had been fighting against the proposed conversion. But the fight is not over yet, as the chairman of the BMC’s Improvement Committee plans on presenting the proposal once again.
