The week-long standoff between Bandra fair stallholders and Basilica of Our Lady of the Mount authorities remains unresolved, despite recent clarifications from the church. The situation is marred with uncertainty as the church remains doubtful whether vendors will proceed with collecting application forms.
In its clarification, the church attributed the higher stall prices this year to extensive upgrades aimed at visitor convenience. These improvements include better water supply through rainwater harvesting, upgraded toilet facilities with new sewage lines, and accessibility features like ramps. The authorities also planned a covered area for resting pilgrims, reconstructed paved platforms for stalls and constructed fire-resistant stalls.
