Mumbai: The officials from Tata Trust has responded favourably to request by the residents of Breach Candy to re-adopt the huge Tata Garden, which was taken over by the BMC for the construction of Coastal Road. Known for its serene lanes and gentle sea breeze, the 8000 sq mt garden has been sliced into three sections due the project's interchanging roads.
Call to Honour Ratan Tata
The garden was earlier adopted by Tata Power Ltd under the Corporate Social Responsibility. As the Coastal road phase 1 is now completed and open for traffic, the Breach Candy Residents Forum (BCRF) have been urging the Tatas to adopt and restore the park and rechristened in the legacy of Ratan Tata Garden.

"We came together for the Coastal Road project. But what was is left behind today is a garden divided, choked by dust, neglected, and forgotten due to a lack of maintenance and proper care. As the Tata Trust has now responded favourably to our request, it is given us a ray of hope to restore one of the biggest park in south Mumbai," said N Lakhani, a resident.
