Residents say 'no' to marina near Gateway
Hindustan Times Navi Mumbai|January 09, 2025
Colaba residents are rallying to oppose the proposed transport marina near the Gateway of India in Colaba, arguing that it would worsen traffic and pedestrian congestion in the area, face the fury of monsoon waves, and ruin the panoramic view from the iconic Taj Mahal Palace and Hotel.

Citizens groups have urged the Maharashtra Maritime Board (MMB), which owns the land on which the jetty would be built, to shift the proposed marina to either Bhaucha Dhakka or Ferry Wharf at Mazgaon, or Princess Dock or Ballard Pier.

In a letter to Colaba MLA, Rahul Narwekar, the Clean Heritage Colaba Residents' Association (CHCRA) stated, "Strong objection against the proposed jetty, which is intended to come up between Gateway of India and Radio Club in Colaba." The letter pointed to the massive crowds that visit the Gateway of India, one of Mumbai's most popular tourist sites, and said that a jetty in the vicinity would only compound traffic congestion in the area. It also said the marina would ruin the view from the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel.

Taking the same stand are the Strand Marg Association, My Dream Colaba, Colaba ALM and Old Cuffe Parade Association.
