The Shivaji Park swimming pool, an iconic sporting facility that dots the cultural spine of Mumbai, has been shut for some days now.

A report in this paper cited how the BMC-run pool has been undergoing major repairs and a facelift since earlier this month. The pumps have been changed while tiling work is being undertaken. Several members had complained about slippery tiles, which were hazardous and could cause injury if members slipped and fell. It is heartening to see that concerns are being addressed through this work.
