More than 100 people, including locals and activists, gathered at Pushpa Narsee Park in JVPD Scheme, Juhu, on Sunday demanding that the BMC scrap its plan to build a parking lot underneath the garden. They reiterated their suggestion of constructing the parking lot underneath the roads instead.

We intend to spread our message further that parks are not for parking. We are sure our government authorities and elected representatives will support us in our endeavours to protect these precious open spaces,” activist Zoru Bhathena said.
