In December, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) will begin the delayed restoration work of 200-year-old Khotachiwadi near Girgaon. On Friday, the civic body floated tender for the project which will be carried out in phases.
Initially, the restoration work was scheduled to begin post-monsoon but got stuck due to financial constraints. Under the restoration work, gaothan’s internal road i.e. 750 metres will be restored. Along with this, drains and the cobble pathway will be restored and more space will be alloted to access each home.
