Marine Drive in Mumbai, with its windswept promenade, sweeping row of Art Deco buildings, and where many citizens take in a breath of fresh air and view the daily sunsets, is under threat.
From builders in collusion with politicians and corrupt government
officials, who are working systematically to destroy Mumba’s iconic
sea-front.
The last few years have seen numerous amendments and attempts to lift the legal protection available to this heritage percinct precinct from the CRZ and Heritage Regulations for Mumbai.
Are we soon going to be left with only memories of the “Queen’s Necklace”?
Amitabh Bachan has recently written on his blog about his memories of Marine Drive. Read at http://bigb.bigadda.com/?p=7060
