Bandra residents have sought the intervention of the Mumbai Maritime Board (MMB) and BMC to remove encroachments from the Carter Road promenade, enabling pedestrians and tourists to reclaim the stretch, our report said.

The residents have written letters to the MMB and BMC in February and March, requesting the removal of certain encroachments. There has been a partial response though residents want the high profile stretch completely free, an open space for walkers, joggers and anybody at all who can use this as a recreation space.
