In a bid to make Mumbai a more walkable city, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is turning the Kala Ghoda precinct in South Mumbai into pedestrian-only territory from August 31, 2024. The aim of pedestrianising five of Kala Ghoda’s roads—Forbes Street, Saibaba Road, Rope Walk Lane, Rutherfield Street and B Bharucha Road—is to enhance the character and cultural history of the place while increasing footfalls in the area.
