Mumbai: The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has invited tenders for the operation, maintenance, and management of the underground parking facility at Bindu Madhav Thackeray Chowk, developed as part of the Mumbai Coastal Road Project. Out of the four proposed facilities, two located in Worli have been completed and are expected to become operational by the end of July. Each of these Worli facilities has a capacity of approximately 200 vehicles.

The four underground parking facilities being constructed are located at: Bhulabhai Desai Marg (south side of Tata Garden) with a capacity of 250 vehicles; Haji Ali (near Lotus Jetty), which is the largest with a capacity of 1,200 vehicles; Worli Dairy with a capacity of 200 vehicles; and Worli Seaface (opposite Bindu Madhav Thackeray Chowk), also with a capacity of 200 vehicles. According to an official from the Coastal Road Department, mechanical and electrical works are currently underway at the facilities. These facilities will be handed over to the G South Ward office after completion. 

“The parking facility in Worli will ease congestion for those who currently park along Worli Sea Face, as well as for visitors to the coastal promenade that will soon be open to the public,” the official added.

BMC Revises Plans For Underground Parking Facility At Haji Ali

The BMC has also revised the plans for the proposed underground parking facility at Haji Ali, increasing its structure from two storeys to four. Under the original plan, the Haji Ali facility was designed to accommodate 1,200 cars. The revised design now includes space for 1,069 cars and 70 buses, offering a more versatile and high-capacity solution for the area. A tender for this project will be floated soon. Once awarded, the construction is expected to take approximately two years to complete. 

Meanwhile, Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) has been tasked with developing 53 hectares of reclaimed open space under a Rs. 400-crore Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funded project. Landscape designs will be submitted for approval as per Coastal Regulation Zone norms and Supreme Court directives.

Published

Mumbai: The Mumbai-Delhi High Court has strongly criticized Red Chillies Entertainment Shah Rukh Khan, Gauri Khan and others in the defamation case against NCB Zonal Director IRS officer Sameer Wankhede and said that artistic freedom does not mean mocking a person. After this, the High Court has ordered that the controversial footage related to Sameer Wankhede be removed from the controversial Netflix series The Bads of Bollywood. Sameer Wankhede had filed a petition in the High Court and pleaded that his character has been killed in The Bads of Bollywood and this series has been made to target him. The purpose is to humiliate and mock Sameer Wankhede. After watching some parts of this series, the High Court has ordered the removal of the controversial parts from the film.

Sameer Wankhede’s lawyer had told the court that the character portrayed in the film is a comparison to Sameer Wankhede and that this series has been created with the intention of tarnishing Wankhede’s image. The Bads of Bollywood is malicious, therefore, the above-mentioned controversial scenes and objectionable dialogues should be deleted from the series, on which the court has issued an order to delete the controversial and objectionable content and content. Earlier, while hearing Sameer Wankhede’s petition, the court had sent notices to Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies, Netflix, Meta, and social media platforms and directed them to file a response. To this, Red Chillies had called the film and series a drama and made it clear that it had nothing to do with the facts. However, despite this, the Delhi High Court inquired whether a film drama does not mean that someone’s character is killed and said this, it reprimanded Shah Rukh Khan and the film company. Sameer Wankhede tried to prove through his argument that the character portrayed in the film resembles Sameer Wankhede and that this character has been portrayed in a negative way to target him and in this, an attempt has been made to make fun of Sameer Wankhede through this character, which has humiliated Wankhede, which the court has accepted and issued a directive to delete the objectionable and controversial content. This is a big success for Sameer Wankhede, while Shah Rukh Khan has suffered a huge setback.
