BMC mulls shelving Gateway plan amid delays

The project, led by the BMC, was designed to offer tourists, both local and international, a clear view of the Gateway of India from a distance.

However, unresolved issues related to the relocation of stallholders and objections raised by the government's Heritage Committee have stalled the project, raising questions about its completion.

The initial objective of the project was to remove obstructions such as food stalls and ticket counters along the approach road from Regal Cinema to the Gateway of India.

Currently, the presence of these stalls, along with a police security cabin and other structures, hinders a clear view of the monument, reducing the overall experience for visitors.
