With the BMC and local MLA ostensibly unwilling to take cognisance of Bandra residents’ opposition to the civic body’s decision to construct a parking lot under Patwardhan Park, activists have filed a PIL in the Bombay High Court against the move. The hearing will be held in June. The petitioners have told BMC to halt its plans or they will be compelled to move the vacation bench.
