The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has taken back control of the Cuffe Parade Residents’ Association Greens Garden, located in the upscale Cuffe Parade area of Mumbai, due to repeated complaints regarding misuse and restrictions on public access. Originally handed over to the residents in 1987, the BMC's decision comes after the association failed to satisfactorily address complaints about unauthorized events and restricted entry to the public. The BMC had issued multiple show-cause notices to the association in 2019, 2021, and 2025. The residents' association, led by president Laura D’Souza, claims they have invested over ₹1 lakh (approximately $1,200 USD) monthly in maintaining the garden and have faced harassment from local officials. They are now seeking intervention from municipal authorities and threatening to take the matter to the Bombay High Court if their concerns are not addressed. Local corporator Makarand Narwekar has denied the allegations against him, asserting that the garden should remain a public space.
