Hanging Gardens at Malabar Hill is all set to effectively ‘disappear’ for a while, said our prominent report. The garden is going to be taken over in phases, as there is a British-era Malabar Hill water reservoir beneath the garden and that has to be upgraded so that the burgeoning water needs of the area are fulfilled.

The report stated that the park will have to be uprooted, in a phased manner though for the work on the reservoir. These are early days yet and the paperwork for the project has started. Trees will also have to be transplanted once the ground work begins.
