Mumbai’s wheelchair cricket team is all set to play a game at Patwardhan Park in Bandra West. The aim is to highlight the value of this open space, and the battle to save it. The BMC has a proposal to make an underground car parking lot below it, and locals, activists invested in the space are fighting hard to stop this from happening.

Citizens are fighting hard for what they claim will be a precious space gone away, if the car park is allowed to come up. So, there are a number of activities planned at the park and allies have joined in. The wheelchair cricket team is one of those allies. The initiative was reported in this paper, with a couple of statements and observations by the differently abled that should make us perhaps try to change the situation to make spaces more accessible.
