Following its tussle with the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Limited (MMRCL) to save the Atash Behrams, the Parsi community is now up against the BMC in order to protect the sanctity of the Indawalla Agiary at Chandanwadi. Earlier this week, the civic body began constructing a toilet block inside a garden behind the agiary when locals, as well as members of the Zoroastrian community, raised strong objections to it.

The toilet block is being constructed inside the Hemalwadi garden, located just behind the 175-year-old Bai Avabai Ardeshir Wadia (Indawalla) Agiary. The community is worried that it will contaminate the water in the holy well inside the agiary premises. "How can they build a toilet so close to a holy place? We fear that it will contaminate the well water which we use to perform our rituals. Our religious sentiments have been hurt and our community is very concerned," said Cyrus Irani.
