In yet another instance of mismanagement of open spaces, resulting in anguish for locals, the beautification of Hooper Garden in Matunga is still incomplete. A report in this paper cited that work is incomplete even after BMC spent Rs 2.5 crore on it. Now, the civic body plans to appoint another contractor for the incomplete work.

The report states that the civic body’s Garden Cell had officially completed the beautification work in April last year and it was opened to the public recently.
