With the cases of coronavirus being on a decline, trips and trails to the Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP) and Aarey Milk Colony have become more common.
According to an article in Indian Express, Mumbai-based resident Shruti Tomar before the outbreak of the coronavirus and the subsequent lockdown could not believe that the city she has grown up in could offer so many options.
Speaking about the same Tomar stated, “After months of being held up in the house, when the walk to forage wild foods at Aarey forest came up in December, I signed up. I had read about Aarey, but I never imagined that it would be my weekend plan. This weekend plan was liberating,”
With the restrictions regards to COVID-19 gradually beginning to ease out in the city, one-day city tours, food and nature trails at Sanjay Gandhi National Park and Aarey Milk Colony in the western suburbs, football and cricket tournaments in long-forgotten public parks and gardens have become more popular.
On the other hand, in a recently taken decision, officials at the Mumbai's popular Sanjay Gandhi National Park stated that the park located in Borivali will now be opened for the general public.
According to the update, the park will be open from 8.30 am to 6.30 pm, but attractions will not be operational for the public. Visitors will only be able to park their vehicles outside the premises, and no private vehicles will be allowed inside. One can make the use of BEST buses to commute inside the park. Furthermore, visitors will have to wear masks and following the rules at all times.
